Pietrangelo scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo took a shot that banked in off a Kraken player at 18:38 of the third period. This goal ended a three-game slump for Pietrangelo, who has found offense in bunches this season. He's up to two goals, 11 assists, 30 shots on net, 13 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 14 appearances. He should continue to be a fixture in a top-four role with power-play time throughout 2024-25.

Pietrangelo scored a goal, took four shots and posted a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo extended his point streak to a season-high four games, and while he's earned most of his fantasy value as a playmaker out of the blue line, this time he found the back of the net with a wrister the first period, ultimately setting the tone for the Golden Knights' easy win. One of the most productive defensemen in the league over the first weeks of the regular season, Pietrangelo is up to 12 points, with one goal and 11 helpers, over his first 10 regular-season outings.

Pietrangelo notched two assists, including one while shorthanded, in Saturday's 7-3 win over Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo has gone on a playmaking binge with eight helpers over his last three games. The defenseman is clearly benefiting from the Golden Knights leading the NHL in goals per game (4.67), and it helps that he also gets some power-play time. Pietrangelo hasn't scored one for himself yet, but he has 11 assists, 16 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-7 rating through nine contests.

Pietrangelo recorded three assists in Friday's 6-4 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo had endured a rough start to the season with just three assists across his first six outings, but he has turned things around of late with six helpers over his last two contests -- a span in which the Golden Knights have scored 12 goals while defeating the Kings and Senators. Pietrangelo is up to nine assists on the season, ranking second in the league among defensemen behind Cale Makar's 12.

Pietrangelo logged three assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo was busy throughout the game, and he was rewarded by assisting on all three of the Golden Knights' third-period tallies. This big performance brought the 34-year-old defenseman to six assists over seven contests this season. He's added 12 blocked shots, 12 shots on net, five hits and a plus-4 rating. Pietrangelo had a down year in 2023-24 with 33 points in 64 regular-season appearances, but he started that campaign with nine points in 10 outings, so it's not unusual to see him put up strong stretch of offense.

Pietrangelo posted an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo has earned a helper in each of the first three games of the season. The 34-year-old defenseman's offense appeared to be in decline after he was limited to 33 points in 64 regular-season outings last year, but he's off to a hot start while seeing top-pairing minutes in 2024-25. He's added six shots on net, three hits, two blocks and a plus-3 rating this season.

Pietrangelo recorded an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo helped out on a Nicolas Roy tally in the third period. The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in two games this year, as he hasn't enjoyed the offensive success that his defense partner, Shea Theodore, has found early on. At 34 years old, Pietrangelo's offense is prone to decline -- he was limited to 33 points in 64 regular-season contests. His fantasy value remains at a decent level, especially in formats that count blocked shots, though he's yet to step in front of a puck this season. He's finished with 100-plus blocks in every full-length seasons since 2010-11.

Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal and four blocked shots in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in six playoff outings. The veteran defenseman has added 10 shots on net, eight hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Pietrangelo is seeing top-four minutes, but he's also being leaned on for his defense, so his chances to produce points may be limited.

Pietrangelo (illness) will play Monday in Game 1 against the Stars, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo underwent an appendectomy during his seven-game absence at the end of the regular season. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with four goals, 33 points, 141 shots on net and 160 blocked shots in 64 appearances. Pietrangelo is projected to play on the top pairing alongside Noah Hanifin in Monday's contest.

Pietrangelo will be a full participant in practice Saturday after having an appendectomy during his seven-game absence.

EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo has been out of action since April 2 but appears to be on track to return for Game 1 in Dallas on Monday. He had only four goals -- his lowest total since 2009-10 -- and 29 assists in 64 appearances during the regular season. Once he receives clearance to play, he should return to his spot on the first pairing and could see time on the man advantage.
