Alex Pietrangelo News

The Golden Knights are one of two teams left before the Christmas break but adding Pietrangelo and Dadonov to the COVID-19 protocol list muddies the chances of this game happening. If it does happen, the Golden Knights will be without their top defenseman.

Pietrangelo was a full participant in Wednesday's morning skate and head coach Pete DeBoer said that it looks like he'll be available from a health perspective but they aren't sure if the LTIR paperwork will be complete in time. With some uncertainties, consider him a game-time decision.

Pietrangelo missed Monday's game in Minnesota and will not play for at least the next three games. With Pietrangelo out, Nic Hague is taking on a larger role, which includes PP2 usage.

Pietrangelo was banged up late in Saturday's game in San Jose while blocking a shot and is listed as a game-time decision for Monday.

Pietrangelo has been sidelined on the COVID-19 reserve list since January 26th but is "available" for Thursday's game vs. the Ducks. Pietrangelo will replace Shea Theodore, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

Pietrangelo remains in COVID-19 protocol and will not be available for Friday's game. With Pietrangelo out, Dylan Coghlan will make his NHL debut.

Pietrangelo missed Friday's game with an illness but was on the ice for the morning skate and is expected to play in Minnesota. Pietrangelo will skate on the top-pair with Carl Gunnarsson and will re-join the top power-play unit as well.

Pietrangelo has missed the last 11 games with a hand injury but will play Saturday vs. the Penguins. Pietrangelo, who has four goals and seven assists (11 points) in 24 games, will be on the top pair and top power-play in his return.

Pietrangelo miss Saturday’s game in Arizona after suffering a hand injury in Colorado on Friday. It sounds like Pietrangelo will need surgery, so he could be sidelined long-term. The Blues plan to re-evaluate him around Christmas. With Pietrangelo on IR, Colton Parayko will likely take on an expanded role and Chris Butler was recalled from San Antonio (AHL).

Pietrangelo suffered an apparent hand/wrist injury in Friday’s game in Colorado and is questionable for Saturday’s game in Arizona. Expect an update on Pietrangelo’s status around 6:00 pm ET.

The Blues moved Pietrangelo to IR but did not announce how long he is expected to be out. The move to IR means that he will have to miss at least the next two games, but is eligible to play Saturday vs. the Jets. The Blues used his roster spot to call up Jordan Schmaltz.
