Pietrangelo scored a goal and added an assist during Thursday's win over Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an excellent fantasy stretch for Pietrangelo, as he's recorded three goals, 11 points, 32 shots and 25 blocked shots through his past 13 games. His 26:41 of ice time with 2:44 on the power play during that span help his floor and his ceiling is currently high, too. With Kevin Shattenkirk out of the picture, Pietrangelo is proving to be a high-end asset. His virtual outlook for 2017-18 is promising.

Pietrangelo posted a power-play goal with a plus-1 rating and a blocked shot in Saturday's 3-0 win against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo is just one point short of tying his best total for a month, and he still has six games remaining before flipping the calendar to April. His goal was the 10th of the season, his first time reaching double-digit goals since the 2011-12 campaign when he lit the lamp a career-best 12 times.

Pietrangelo had two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 3-1 in over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues' top defenseman has bumped up his offense in the wake of the Kevin Shattenkirk trade. Pietrangelo has six assists, including three on the power play, in the seven games since Shattenkirk was dealt to the Capitals.

Pietrangelo has averaged 27 minutes of ice time, up from his season average of 25, in the three games since St. Louis traded Kevin Shattenkirk to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The increase is largely due to Pietrangelo taking Shattenkirk's spot on the top power-play unit. The benefits of more ice time on the power play is clear; Pietrangelo has two power-play assists in the three games since being elevated to the top unit.

Pietrangelo received stitches on his ear after Sunday's loss to Chicago, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. He was struck with a puck while sitting on the bench.

EDGE Analysis

The issue didn't force the veteran blueliner to miss any time during the contest, and there hasn't been any indication that he'll be forced to sit out any upcoming games, the first of which comes Tuesday at home against Edmonton. Despite the losing effort -- and puck to the head -- Pietrangelo managed to score his ninth goal of the year in 25:44 of ice time Sunday.

Pietrangelo dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- Thursday against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo skates on the second power-play combination while Kevin Shattenkirk and Alex Steen man the points for the top unit, but that hasn't stopped him from racking up 10 points with the extra man. The 27-year-old defenseman has reached double digits in that category in five of the past seven seasons. He also has a whopping five points overall in the past two games.

Pietrangelo picked up a goal, two assists and a blocked shot in Tuesday's 5-3 loss against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The three-point outburst was a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners, who have been disgusted with Pietrangelo's lack of fireworks lately. Pietrangelo entered Tuesday's game with no goals and just five assists over the past 16 games. The Ontario native is on pace for just 37 points, which would be a career low for a full season, but a few more games like this could get him untracked.

Pietrangelo had an assist, two shots, a two-minute penalty, and finished with a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 blanking of the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

He has points in two of the last three games, but Pietrangelo's name had been absent from several scoresheets recently. Prior to the current three-game run, he had just one point in seven games. Whether due to Pietrangelo's scoring drought or the team's recent string of poor hockey, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock moved the right-handed shooting defenseman to the left side, pairing him with Colton Parayko. It's an experiment Hitchcock started late in the Blues' previous game, with Pietrangelo saying it was a bit of adjustment, but he's getting accustomed to the new spot.

Pietrangelo had two hits and two blocked shots over 20:28 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo returned to action after missing one game due to illness. He's obviously not at full strength, playing five minutes less than his season average (25:07 per game), but gets an extended break over the Christmas holiday as the Blues don't return to action until next Wednesday when they host Philadelphia.

Pietrangelo (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday night versus the Lightning, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The mobile defenseman missed Tuesday's game in Dallas, but evidently his illness wasn't serious and fantasy owners should feel safe activating him for the upcoming contest. He's found twine seven times through 33 contests thanks to a robust 9.2 shooting percentage, and has 10 helpers to boot.
