Alex Pietrangelo News
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo was a full practice participant on Saturday after undergoing an appendectomy. He is expected to dress for Game 1 of the team's first-round series against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The veteran notched four goals and 33 points on 141 shots on goal while he also blocked a hefty 160 shots across 64 games on the season. Vegas finished in the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, setting up a road matchup with the top-seeded Stars in the first round.
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (illness) could return to the lineup when the team visits the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The veteran has missed the past six games due to an illness but skated as part of an optional skate at the Xcel Energy Center on Friday. "He's skating today. So that's good news," Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy said on Friday. "If everything goes well, then we'll anticipate he'll go tomorrow." The 32-year-old has tallied four goals and 32 points across 62 games on the season, adding 137 shots and 155 blocks to his ledger, boosting his fantasy value. The Golden Knights sit third in the Pacific Division with a 40-25-8 record, one point ahead of the Los Angeles Kings while playing one more game.
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo will miss his fourth straight game when the club travels to St. Louis to take on the Blues on Monday. Pietrangelo has enjoyed a solid season but one that has fallen below his previously high standards. He has recorded four goals and 32 points across 62 games on the campaign, adding 155 blocked shots and a minus-five rating on the season. The emergence of Shea Theodore has had a negative impact on Pietrangelo's offensive production, especially on the power play. He has just eight points on the man advantage this season. The Golden Knights currently occupy the second and final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference with a 38-25-7 record on the season, four points ahead of the Blues with one game in hand.
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (face) practiced in a red, non-contact jersey Monday as he looks to work towards a return to the lineup. The veteran blue-liner suffered a cut to the face on Oct. 13 when he was hit with a slap shot and has not appeared in a contest since. The 33-year-old tied a career-high with 54 points last season while also adding 170 shots, 65 hits, and a hefty 177 blocked shots, the latter of which was a career-high. While he is very much fantasy-relevant, Pietrangelo's value takes a hit with teammate Shea Theodore thriving in first-unit power-play duties. Even if he doesn't see PP1 time, Pietrangelo is still a valued fantasy asset, especially in leagues that count blocks.
