Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images The new injury status comes as a surprise, with no prior sense that Pietrangelo has been dealing with any injury. The 35-year-old has played in 67 games this year, scoring four goals and 32 points. He's averaging 22:29 of ice time, the lowest of his Golden Knights tenure. With Pietrangelo out, Kaedan Korczak will remain in the lineup, skating alongside Nicolas Hague on the third pairing. It'll be his 14th consecutive game in the Golden Knights lineup, continuing his solid play despite limited minutes.
