Hot Streak for Alex Pietrangelo Helps Blues Over Flames
5 years agoSt. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo added to his growing point streak by recording two assists in Saturday night's overtime victory. Pietrangelo now has at least a point in six of his last seven games and 10 points total in that time. A game-high 26:15 minutes of ice time for Pietrangelo gives him four games this season with at least 25 minutes of ice time. Even with a deep blue line in St. Louis, Pietrangelo is heavily relied on and should get every opportunity at even strength and on the power play to continue this hot streak. Keep in mind though that his current 12.2 percent shooting percentage is double his career average of 6.1 percent, so regression is on its way for Pietrangelo and his six goals this season.
