EDGE Analysis

Pietrangelo is heating up of late with seven points -- two goals -- through his past eight games while averaging 24:26 of ice per night (2:25 with the man advantage). The veteran defenseman's upside is a touch limited because he's consistently matched up against the opposing team's top scorers, and while he'll always be more valuable in the real game, there's still a lot to like about his fantasy profile. For the year, Pietrangelo is up to 15 points, 68 shots and 58 blocked shots through 28 games, and his minus-8 rating is the only blemish to his virtual stock.
