Pietrangelo had two assists, including one on the power play, and put four shots on goal in a 3-1 win over the Avalanche on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Some players my be looking forward to the All-Star break, but Pietrangelo likely isn't one of them. The 27-year-old has a point in six of his last seven games, and he's tallied seven points overall in those contests. He's also averaged over 3:30 per game with the extra man, which is a career high for him.

Pietrangelo fired two shots on goal and had a minus-3 rating through 23:06 of action Saturday against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo had this minus-3 rating at the first intermission, when the Blues were down 4-0 already. The Blues certainly expect more out of their captain in front of the home crowd, although had one goal and three assists in the four games prior to Saturday's matchup. Still, Pietrangelo can't have nights off like this, so look for him to turn it around Tuesday against the Senators.

Pietrangelo notched an assist in Tuesday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
It was his second straight game with an assist, but Pietrangelo hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 9, marking 25 consecutive games without lighting the lamp. This extended drought is increasingly frustrating for his fantasy owners, especially since he's averaging over 25 minutes of ice time per game and fired 59 shots on goal in that span. Pietrangelo does provide a nice floor, though, with 62 blocked shots during this drought, but he leaves plenty to be desired, especially playing on the top power-play unit with stars such as Vladimir Tarasenko.

Pietrangelo picked up two assists in Saturday's win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo is now riding a three-game point streak and is up to 28 points (seven goals) in 37 contests. The 27-year-old continues to log heavy minutes and is sporting a terrific plus-14 rating. He's having one of his best seasons to date and quarterbacking the first power-play unit, making him one of the best fantasy defenseman around.

Pietrangelo (foot) was activated from injured reserve and will play Sunday in Winnipeg, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Having already established himself as one of the best right-shooting defenseman in the league, Pietrangelo is currently enjoying his most productive season to date. Through 30 games, Pietrangelo has seven goals and 23 points, as well as a plus-14 rating. Expect Pietrangelo to jump right back into his typical role on the Blues' top defensive pairing, as well as skating on the top power-play unit.

Pietrangelo (foot) is making progress in his recovery, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Timmermann adds that Blues coach Mike Yeo has yet to announce whether Pietrangelo will be fit to play in Sunday's road game against the Jets, though the fact that the Notes haven't recalled a spare defenseman should be viewed as positive sign for the star defenseman's availability. He's currently on injured reserve, but his ultimate removal from that list will be the surest sign that that's ready to rock.

Pietrangelo (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues and fantasy owners alike will undoubtedly be feeling the affects of Pietrangelo's absence, as he currently ranks fifth among defensemen with 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) through 30 games. Jordan Schmaltz has been called up from AHL San Antonio to take Pietrangelo's spot on the active roster.

Pietrangelo (foot) will be left out of the lineup for Sunday's tilt against Buffalo, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran blueliner suffered the injury when blocking a shot in the first period of Saturday's win over Detroit and was forced to leave the game briefly, though he did return. With 23 points after 30 games, Pietrangelo is scoring at a higher rate than in any other season of his career and will be sorely missed by his team Sunday. Moving forward, Pietrangelo is considered day-to-day.
