Impact Pinelli has gone 11 games without a goal but has earned seven helpers over his last seven outings. The 20-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 18 helpers, 82 shots on net, 30 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 34 appearances this season. He got a taste of NHL action earlier in 2025-26, but the Blue Jackets will likely be happy to let him continue developing in the AHL for at least the rest of this season.
