4 days agoVegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo tallied two helpers during their 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday evening. In the opening frame, Pietrangelo would tally the secondary assist on Nicholas Roy's power-play goal. Later in the third, Pietrangelo would add the primary assist on Nicholas Hague's empty-netter, which put the game out of reach. This outing extended his point streak to three games. During this stretch, he has tallied four helpers. Over his last six contests, Pietrangelo has only been held off the scoresheet once and added nine blocked shots with a stellar +7 rating. Through 67 total games this campaign, the 35-year-old has found the back of the net four times and added 28 helpers. Pietrangelo also carries value in leagues that reward blocks, as he has averaged 1.9 blocked shots per game this season.

4 months agoVegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) will return from a three-game absence on Wednesday against Colorado. He will take Robert Hagg's position in the lineup and should join his regular partner, Noah Hanifin, in a first defensive pairing role. Pietrangelo has had a productive campaign with 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in 19 outings. All but one of Pietrangelo's points have come in even-strength situations. He's also registered 39 shots and 34 hits. Pietrangelo has offered good two-way value for fantasy managers and should continue to play a big role for Vegas.

4 months agoVegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Montreal. The veteran has been in fine form this season, posting 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in 19 contests. He is ranked just outside the top 10 in the defensemen scoring list. Additionally, Pietrangelo boasts 34 blocks and 16 hits. Robert Hagg entered the lineup on Thursday against Ottawa but might have to sit again on Saturday, as Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) is close to returning and officially a game-time decision for Saturday. Pietrangelo's next chance to return comes in Monday's game against Philadelphia.

6 months agoVegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo extended his season-opening point streak to three games in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Anaheim. He has become the first blue-liner in franchise history to start a season with a three-game scoring streak, notching all of the points with even-strength assists. Pietrangelo's productivity nosedived last season as he battled health issues, but it looks like he still has some juice left. The 34-year-old sees big minutes as part of the top defensive pairing and the second power-play unit. He will attempt to take his streak to four games in Vegas' first road game of the season at Washington on Tuesday night.
