Undrafted, Pelletier played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before making his professional debut in the ECHL with the Louisiana IceGators. In the 2005–06 season, Pelletier was signed to an AHL contract with the Providence Bruins and after a solid season was signed to a NHL contract with parent club, the Boston Bruins, on August 7, 2006.[2]
Pelletier made his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins during the 2007–08 season, he was first recalled from Providence on January 16, 2008.[3] Pelletier played in a total of six games. On July 24, 2008, Pelletier was traded by the Bruins to the Chicago Blackhawks for Martin St. Pierre.[4] He signed a one-year contract with the Blackhawks on August 8, 2008.[5]
After a year playing for the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate the Rockford IceHogs, Pelletier signed a one-year deal with Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL for the 2009–10 season. On December 8, 2009 he was traded to the St. Louis Blues for Brendan Bell and Tomas Kana. He was immediately sent to their affiliate the Peoria Rivermen.[6]
On May 19, 2010, Pelletier left for Europe signing a one-year contract with Swiss team, the SCL Tigers of the National League A.[7]
