Tampa Bay announced Wednesday that they plan to sit some starters for their season finale vs. New York and has recalled Jakob Pelletier from Syracuse (AHL) in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is expected to draw into Tampa Bay's lineup and will hope to pick up his first point of the season in his fifth appearance for the Lightning.

Pelletier appeared in two games during his call-up, failing to record a point and played just 7:06 in Montreal Thursday. He'll return to AHL, where he leads the league with 75 points (28G / 47A) in 61 games this season.

Pelletier played two games with Tampa Bay earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 25-year-old forward is having an outstanding season with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL), leading the AHL with 75 points (28G / 47A) in 61 games.

Pelletier played his second game of the season on Saturday, but will return to the Syracuse Crunch (AHL), where he has spent most of the season. The 26th-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft has excelled with the Syracuse Crunch this season, scoring 41 points (19G / 22A) in 35 games.



Pelletier was recalled ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Hurricanes but served as a reserve forward and did not play. Pelletier returns to the AHL, where he has 15 goals and 16 assists (31 points) in 24 games this season.






After splitting last season between Calgary and Philadelphia, Jakob Pelletier will join his third organization in two years after signing a three-year, $2.525 million contract ($841,600 AAV) with Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was Calgary's 2019 1st-round pick (26th overall) and has amassed 11 goals and 29 points in 86 games across three seasons. He will likely play a bottom-six role in Tampa Bay in the upcoming season.
