Pietrangelo (illness) won't play in Saturday's home contest against Columbus and is questionable to join the Golden Knights on their upcoming four-game road trip, which starts Monday in St. Louis, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo also missed Vegas' previous two contests. He has four goals, 32 points, 46 hits and 155 blocked shots over 62 outings in 2023-24. Ben Hutton is likely to remain in the lineup Saturday because of Pietrangelo's absence.

Pietrangelo (illness) will not be available against Seattle on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo will miss his second consecutive contest due to his lingering illness. While the blueliner has gone seven straight games without a goal, he did notch three helpers over that stretch. Nicolas Hague figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time with Pietrangelo unavailable while Ben Hutton will remain in the lineup against the Kraken.

Pietrangelo (illness) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with the Kraken, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo was sidelined versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday due to an illness. In his last 15 outings, the veteran blueliner has racked up two goals on 28 shots, seven assists and 46 blocks while averaging 22:40 of ice time. Ben Hutton will likely be relegated to the press box if Pietrangelo returns to action.

Pietrangelo will not be available against the Lightning on Tuesday due to illness.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has registered one goal on 18 shots and four assists in his last 10 outings but will now be out of action Tuesday. The absence of Pietrangelo will allow Nicolas Hague to rejoin the lineup after missing Sunday's matchup with the Devils.

Pietrangelo logged an assist, five blocked shots, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has chipped in three assists and 17 blocks over his last five outings. The 34-year-old defenseman set up William Carrier's game-tying goal early in the third period. Pietrangelo is up to 32 points, 137 shots on net, 155 blocks and a minus-5 rating through 62 outings overall. He continues to play on the top pairing and has meshed quickly with Noah Hanifin, leaving Alec Martinez to compete for a bottom-four role.

Pietrangelo notched an assist, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo fed Jack Eichel for the goal on an odd-man rush at 3:01 of overtime. This was Pietrangelo's second assist over five games in March. The 34-year-old has seen more defensive usage since Shea Theodore rejoined the lineup, and Noah Hanifin will likely also eat into Pietrangelo's looks on offense. For the season, he has 31 points, 148 blocked shots, 134 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 60 appearances.

Pietrangelo registered an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo has earned three points over his last five games. The 34-year-old had a new defense partner Thursday, with Noah Hanifin lining up with Pietrangelo while Alec Martinez (undisclosed) went to injured reserve Wednesday. Pietrangelo's never been one to back down on offense to focus on defense, and that's unlikely to change with the new look to the Golden Knights' blue line. He's earned 30 points, 131 shots on net, 140 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 58 appearances.

Pietrangelo scored a goal on five shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo is up to four goals on the year, with two of them being among his seven points in February. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 29 points, 128 shots on net, 132 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 55 outings overall. His offense remains solid, but Shea Theodore's return in February led to fewer power-play chances for Pietrangelo.

Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo was initially credited with the goal, but Jonathan Marchessault got a piece of it. The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in his last three outings. The 34-year-old defenseman has predictably taken a back seat to Shea Theodore on offense in recent games following Theodore's return from an upper-body injury. Pietrangelo is at 28 points, 123 shots on net, 128 blocked shots, 43 hits and a minus-1 rating through 54 games this season.

Pietrangelo scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Pietrangelo had nine assists over 13 games between tallies. The 34-year-old got the Golden Knights on the board in the first period with his third goal of the season. He's up to 27 points, 117 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 51 appearances. Shea Theodore returned Tuesday after a long-term absence, and he'll likely get first-unit power-play duties, so Pietrangelo's offense could take a hit for the remainder of the campaign.
