Pinelli was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 20-year-old made his NHL debut Nov. 26 against Toronto and has played three games with the Blue Jackets, picking up two shots on goal in each contest. Pinelli had five goals and five assists in 13 AHL games before his promotion.

Pinelli was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After joining the Blue Jackets on an emergency basis, Pinelli will be an option for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. He has registered five goals and 10 points in 13 minor-league outings this season. Pinelli's presence on the roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Mathieu Olivier (upper body) and Kirill Marchenko (upper body) for Wednesday's game.

Pinelli scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 5-3 win over Hershey on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pinelli has scored in three straight games, earning five of his 10 points on the year in that span. He's added 35 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 AHL appearances in his first full professional season. The 20-year-old winger will get as much time as he needs to develop in Cleveland before pushing for an NHL job with the Blue Jackets.

The Blue Jackets assigned Pinelli from OHL Ottawa to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pinelli was selected by Columbus in the fourth round (No. 114 overall) of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old center amassed 37 goals and 71 points across 52 OHL appearances in 2024-25. Pinelli is an undersized forward, so he'll have to make a name for himself at the AHL level before he's ready to attempt to make the jump to the NHL.

Pinelli reached an agreement with the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, signing a three-year, entry-level deal beginning with the 2024-25 season.

EDGE Analysis

Pinelli had a fabulous season in the OHL for the Ottawa 67's in 2023-24, registering 48 goals and 34 assists in 68 games. At this point it isn't clear if Pinelli will return to the OHL for one final season or make the jump to the AHL in 2024-25.
