Pietrangelo scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has gotten on the scoresheet in all three playoff outings so far, earning a goal, two assists, five shots on net, eight blocked shots and five hits. The 35-year-old has stepped up in a top-four role as a steady defensive presence while some of the Golden Knights' other blueliners have faltered under the playoff pressure. Pietrangelo likely can't keep up his recent scoring pace, but he's elevating his play at the right time of the season.

Pietrangelo logged an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has a helper in each of the first two playoff games. He's also racked up seven blocks, three hits, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman should continue to see plenty of ice time in a top-four role, but don't be surprised if the offense fades, as Pietrangelo's defense is his strongest attribute at this stage of his career.

Pietrangelo supplied an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo missed eight of the Golden Knights' last 12 games during the regular season due to injuries and illness. The 35-year-old looks to be fine now, and that will allow him to fill a top-four role in the playoffs as long as he can stay healthy. The blueliner put up 33 points in 71 regular-season contests, in addition to 123 shots on net, 139 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating.

Pietrangelo (undisclosed) took the ice for warmups and is expected to play Wednesday versus the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Pietrangelo's return from a four-game absence. He will replace Zach Whitecloud in the lineup, with Whitecloud's absence likely being for rest.

Pietrangelo (undisclosed) will not be available for Tuesday's road contest against the Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has missed four consecutive games and seven of the last 10. He'll have one more opportunity to suit up in the regular season in the second half of a back-to-back against the Canucks on Wednesday. Kaedan Korczak will continue to operate in a third-pairing role until Pietrangelo is ready to return to the lineup.

Pietrangelo (undisclosed) has an injury that could keep him out for the remainder of the regular season.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo's timeline to return is unclear, but coach Bruce Cassidy wasn't overly concerned. If the 35-year-old defender misses the final three games of the regular season, he could be ready for the beginning of the playoffs. He has produced four goals, 33 points, 123 shots on net and 137 blocked shots across 70 appearances this season.

Pietrangelo (illness) will miss Thursday's tilt against Seattle, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
EDGE Analysis
It will be Pietrangelo's second straight game on the shelf. He has four goals and 33 points over 70 appearances in 2024-25. Pietrangelo is getting closer to returning, according to Webster, so perhaps the 35-year-old defenseman will be available Saturday versus Nashville.

Pietrangelo (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo will miss at least one game while feeling ill. The 35-year-old's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Kraken. Nicolas Hague (illness) is also out, so Ben Hutton and Kaedan Korczak will both draw into the lineup Tuesday.

Pietrangelo notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo earned a helper in his third game back from missing four contests due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old has slotted right back into a top-four role, though he hasn't been able to reclaim a power-play spot with both Shea Theodore and Noah Hanifin healthy. Pietrangelo is at 33 points through 70 outings in 2024-25, matching his total from 64 games in the 2023-24 regular season. This year, he's added 123 shots on net, 137 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating.

Pietrangelo (lower body) is set to return Thursday versus Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo missed Vegas' previous four games. He has four goals and 32 points across 67 outings this campaign. Pietrangelo's return might push Kaedan Korczak out of the lineup.
