Lightning's Jakob Pelletier: Returned to minors

Pelletier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Pelletier was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 6-4 win over Carolina because Nikita Kucherov (illness) returned to the lineup from a one-game absence. The 24-year-old Pelletier has compiled 15 goals and 31 points in 24 AHL appearances this season.
