The Calgary Flames recalled forward Jakob Pelletier and defenceman Dennis Gilbert from their American Hockey League affiliate on Sunday.

Pelletier has 16 goals and 36 points in 33 games with the Calgary Wranglers this season.

The 21-year-old from Quebec City, who was drafted 26th overall in 2019, made his NHL debut earlier last month and appeared in four games with the Flames prior to the All-Star break.

Gilbert has two goals and five points in 26 games with the Wranglers this season plus one assist in nine games with the Flames.

The 26-year-old from Buffalo signed with the club as a free agent last year after previously playing with the Chicago Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche.
