Pietrangelo has averaged 27 minutes of ice time, up from his season average of 25, in the three games since St. Louis traded Kevin Shattenkirk to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The increase is largely due to Pietrangelo taking Shattenkirk's spot on the top power-play unit. The benefits of more ice time on the power play is clear; Pietrangelo has two power-play assists in the three games since being elevated to the top unit.
