Do we know whether Pelletier injured the same shoulder?

I think it was the same for sure; when he injured it in the preseason it was on the side of the boards with the penalty box and he kinda went in head/left shoulder first. On the Trouba hit he’s backing up and Trouba collides into his left arm/shoulder. Likely shuts Jakob down for the season which is too bad; his start to his career is reminding me of Backlunds which was riddled with injuries early on as well and had many questioning his durability. JP will be fine but he definitely needs to bulk up this coming offseason and learn how to adjust his game a little more to be wary of these types of collisions.
