The St. Louis Blues have agreed to terms on a seven-year deal with defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.
Pietrangelo, 23, dressed in 47 games last season, leading the Blues’ defense with 24 points (five goals and 19 assists) while ranking 13th in ice time per game (25:06) among all National Hockey League (NHL) defensemen. Since his first full season in 2010, Pietrangelo is tied for sixth among all defensemen in points (118), ranks 10th in goals (28), tied for ninth in assists (90) and slots 15th in plus/minus (+34) while he became the youngest defenseman in Blues history to record back-to-back 40-plus point seasons in 2010-11 (43) and 2011-12 (51).
Pietrangelo will return to the Blues lineup tonight.
Pietrangelo missed the Blues last game with the flu but he is expected to return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canucks. He is one of the best young defensemen in the NHL. He has five goals and 13 assists in 27 games this season.

Hopefully this is the boost the Blues need to get back into the series.
If Pietrangelo can’t play, Ian Cole will go into the lineup.
Same old day-to-day, upper body story from the Blues coaches on the hit by Dwight King. Keep an eye on him before the game.
Alex Pietrangelo with 2 assists today now has 9 points in last 5 games. #stlblues
Pietrangelo clearly deserves to be the Blues' number one defender. Through 57 games he now has 10 goals and 34 points.
Alex Pietrangelo, meanwhile, is riding a nine-game point streak.
Pietrangelo continues to man the top defense in hockey, playing in all situations.
Line Change
Pietrangelo will play tonight. #stlblues
Pietrangelo draws back into the lineup following a bout with the flu. The former 4th overall pick has four goals and nine points in 23 games.
Pietrangelo (sick) not on ice
Sounds like Pietrangelo may be too sick to play tomorrow. Then again, the team may want to play it safe with their top defender. Expect another update on his status.
Confirmed it is Pietrangelo who will be out sick and Fairchild will play. #stlblues
If you own Pietrangelo, remember to keep him on the bench for tonight's game. In 23 games he has scored four goals and nine points with a plus-9 rating.
Line Change
That would seem obvious, since last September he was trying to make the Blues' roster and heading into the 2011-12 season he's expected to lead the team in ice time. Still, after an 11-goal, 43-point season in which he finished with a plus-18 rating, he is assuming nothing.
Expect Pietrangelo to lead the team in ice time and in the locker room. The 21-year-old seems poised to make big strides this season and should be taken seriously in any keeper league.
