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.

Pietrangelo was held off the scoresheet for the 10th straight game in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo is also minus-6 in that span, though he has added 17 shots on net and 24 blocked shots. The 35-year-old pulled out of representing Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off to rest an undisclosed injury, which may still be partially impacting his performance, though it's clearly not yet serious enough to prevent him from playing. For the season, Pietrangelo has 25 points, 101 shots on net, 110 blocks and a plus-6 rating across 55 appearances. He may see a little more playing time in the absence of Shea Theodore (arm).

Pietrangelo logged an even-strength assist, four blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the new year with just one point over seven appearances, Pietrangelo has recorded an assist in four straight games. The right-shot blueliner produced the secondary assist on Victor Olofsson's 11th goal of the campaign at 8:54 of the first period. While Pietrangelo's contributions in the assist department of late have been useful, he hasn't found the back of the net since Dec. 19. Through 45 appearances this season, the 35-year-old has accounted for three goals, 25 points and a plus-12 rating while playing in all situations.

Pietrangelo notched an assist, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo ended a six-game slump with the helper. The defenseman set up Tomas Hertl's opening goal in the second period. Even with the recent slump on offense, Pietrangelo remains in a top-four role with power-play time. The 34-year-old blueliner has 22 points, 81 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 42 appearances this season.
