Pietrangelo (knee) and the Blues had Sunday off, so an update to his injury is expected Monday, the St. Lois Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo left Saturday night's win over the Wild limping after getting jacked along the boards. He's one of five Blues to have skated in every game and is considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday night's game against Winnipeg.

Pietrangelo left Saturday night's win over the Wild with what appeared to be a right knee injury, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo was hit hard into the boards by the Wild's Charlie Coyle with 7:20 to go in the third period and was down on the ice for a while before leaving. He's day-to-day leading up to the Blues' next game Tuesday against Winnipeg.

Pietrangelo set up both Blues goals in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Don't look now, but the rearguard has six points in the last eight games -- a welcome sign for owners that put up with a dry spell where he hit the scoresheet just twice in 15 December games. Pietrangelo is up to 21 points in 50 games this season and has also quietly fired 127 shots on goal, good for seventh among NHL defensemen.

Pietrangelo tallied an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
That's a four-game point streak for Pietrangelo, who has fired off 11 shots during that span and is providing relief to owners that stuck with the Canadian Olympian after a horrendous 15-game stretch in December where he recorded just two points. Due to the extended slump, Pietrangelo will have a tough time bringing his 19 points in 46 games up to the 46 he managed to record last season -- especially with Kevin Shattenkirk eating up the majority of the Blues' power-play time on the back end.

Pietrangelo doled out a pair of assists Tuesday night, contributing to an overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Entering Tuesday's contest, Pietrangelo had just two assists for his only points in December. Perhaps his latest effort will be a stepping stone to more consistent offensive production in 2016.

Pietrangelo recorded his 11th assist of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has shown some life the last week, notching two assists in four games. The defenseman leads all Blues skaters in average ice time per game with 26:28, including 2:16 with the extra attacker. Despite logging significant minutes, the 25-year-old has just three power-play points so far this season.

Pietrangelo collected two points -- a goal and an assist --- in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo's own offensive efforts made him one of two skaters wearing a blue sweater to record a positive rating (plus-1) in this contest -- fellow blueliner Jay Bouwmeester was the other. Pietrangelo is up to 11 points (two goals, nine assists) this season but he needs to continue to tighten up defensively as the owner of a minus-2 rating despite the team goal differential currently at plus-5.

Pietrangelo assisted on Magnus Paajarvi's goal in the third period of Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Devils.

Pietrangelo scored his first goal of the season in the Blues 4-0 win over the Predators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo may no longer be the Norris Trophy candidate that many expected him to be when he first started with St. Louis but he's still an above average defenseman who can help your fantasy team.

Pietrangelo collected two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 OT win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Arguably the Blues' best all-around defenseman, Pietrangelo has taken a back seat to Kevin Shattenkirk in terms of fantasy value over the last couple of seasons. However, with seven points in 13 games -- including four in his last eight -- the Canadian Olympian is on pace for his usual 40-50 points, making him a great No. 2 fantasy d-man.
