Alex Pietrangelo suffered an injury scare Thursday when a shot deflected off his helmet. The play occurred in first period when a shot by Islanders defenseman Andrew MacDonald sent him into the dressing room. Pietrangelo was able to return before the period ended and he stayed in the fold for the rest of the contest. In 20:48 of ice time, he had a plus-2 rating and two shots. He is currently mired in a five-game pointless skid and he hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 2. It shouldn't take him very long to get back on track.
