Pietrangelo (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt against Winnipeg, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

If Pietrangelo is able to play, then it would be his first game since March 23. He has four goals and 32 points over 67 appearances in 2024-25. Kaedan Korczak might be a healthy scratch if Pietrangelo returns to the lineup.

Pietrangelo (lower body) practiced Monday but could miss Tuesday's game against Edmonton, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

During Monday's session, Pietrangelo paired with Ben Hutton, a frequent healthy scratch this season. The 35-year-old Pietrangelo doesn't appear ready to return from a three-game absence versus the Oilers, but an update on his status should come after Tuesday's morning skate. He has produced four goals, 32 points, 119 shots on net and 131 blocked shots through 67 games this season.

Pietrangelo (lower body) is expected to miss the final two games of Vegas' road trip, the Golden Knights announced Friday.

EDGE Analysis

That rules Pietrangelo out for Friday's tilt in Chicago and Saturday's clash in Nashville. He's already missed Tuesday's 5-1 win over Minnesota. He has four goals, 32 points, 119 shots, 39 hits and 131 blocks in 67 outings in 2024-25. Kaedan Korczak is likely to remain in the lineup while Pietrangelo is unavailable.

Pietrangelo (lower body) may not playing during the Golden Knights' road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo's injury is not believed to be long term, but there's some doubt about his availability for the next two games at a minimum. Vegas is at Chicago on Friday and at Nashville on Saturday. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place in the seemingly likely event Pietrangelo is sidelined for one or both of those games.

Pietrangelo (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo logged 25:03 of ice time Sunday versus the Lightning, earning two assists in a 4-2 win. The 35-year-old's absence will be offset by Shea Theodore's return from an arm injury, though this should also allow Kaedan Korczak to remain in the lineup. Pietrangelo's next chance to play is Friday in Chicago, which is the first game of a back-to-back set.

Pietrangelo notched two assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo has played well lately with a goal and five assists over his last six contests. The defenseman helped out on tallies by Nicolas Roy (on the power play) and Nicolas Hague in Sunday's win. For the season, Pietrangelo is up to 32 points (two on the power play), 119 shots on net, 131 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 67 appearances. He's steady defensively and chips in enough offense from a top-four role to be a fine fantasy blueliner.

Pietrangelo notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo's recent uptick in offense continued with his third assist and fourth point in five games. The 35-year-old defenseman set up Mark Stone on what ended up as the game-winning goal in the second period. Pietrangelo is up to 30 points on the year, reaching that mark for the fourth year in a row -- it's a level he's never missed in a full-length season as an NHL regular, falling short of 30 in just the abbreviated 2012-13 and 2020-21 campaigns. He's added 118 shots on net, 130 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-10 rating over 66 outings this season.

Pietrangelo logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo's offense is coming around -- he has three points over his last four games. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to 29 points, 117 shots on net, 130 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 65 outings overall, slightly behind his pace of 33 points in 64 contests in the 2023-24 regular season. Pietrangelo remains an effective two-way defenseman, though it's no surprise his offense continues to dip in the later years of his career.

Pietrangelo scored an empty-net goal on two shots, blocked five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo ended a 32-game goal drought with a long-range empty-netter to seal the win. In that span, he managed a mere 10 assists, 54 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman is not the reliable source of offense he was in his younger years, but he still plays a big role for the Golden Knights. He's at four goals, 27 points, 113 shots on net, 127 blocks and a plus-6 rating over 62 outings this season, so he still does enough to be a depth option in fantasy.

Pietrangelo recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo put an end to his 10-game point drought with the helper. He went minus-6 with 17 shots on net and 24 blocked shots in that span. The 35-year-old defenseman is not playing like he did in his prime, but he remains an effective top-four blueliner for the Golden Knights. This season, he's at three goals, 23 helpers, 103 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 56 appearances. His assist Thursday was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he'll likely see more time with the man advantage as long as Shea Theodore (arm) is out of the lineup.
