On Wednesday evening, Pelletier notched a goal and an assist in Syracuse’s 3-2 loss at Utica. He came back on Friday with the shorthanded game-winning goal in a 3-1 victory over Lehigh Valley, and he scored twice – once on the power play and once on a shorthanded penalty shot – in the Crunch’s 7-2 win over Hartford on Saturday.
