The incident raises concerns, especially considering Pelletier's previous shoulder injury earlier this year, which has limited his playing time to just 3 games, where he managed to secure only 1 assist. As Pelletier undergoes evaluation by team medical staff, his absence from the match casts a shadow of uncertainty over his condition and potential return.
