Pinelli scored twice and added an assist in AHL Cleveland's 5-2 win over Milwaukee on Friday.
Pinelli has started the season well with five goals and five assists over nine outings. He put up 46 points over 68 regular-season contests in 2025-26. Pinelli's strong play in the AHL could earn him a call-up if the Blue Jackets' NHL forwards continue to struggle.
