The Vegas Golden Knights acquired a top-tier NHL defenseman with the signing of Alex Pietrangelo. His resume on the ice is among the very best in the league and Golden Knights fans have a lot to be excited about in the team's newest member.
CAREER STATS
Pietrangelo has appeared in 758 regular season games and has registered 450 points (109G, 341A). He has a +77 plus-minus rating and has taken 1,801 shots on goal. The defenseman has scored 25 game-winning goals.

PLAYOFF PROWESS
In 2019, Pietrangelo became the first captain in St. Louis Blues history to lead them to a Stanley Cup championship. The King City, Ontario native had 19 points (3G, 16A) in 26 games in the Blues run to their first title. His first-period goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final was the game-winning goal. He has played in 92 playoff games in his career and has notched 51 points (8G, 43A).
PETRO AND REAVO
Pietrangelo and Ryan Reaves were teammates in St. Louis from 2010-17.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
St. Louis selected Pietrangelo with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 draft. He made his NHL debut with the Blues during the 2008-09 season and became a mainstay in the NHL in 2010-11.
INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
Pietrangelo has represented Canada five times and has earned a medal in four of those appearances. He was part of the Canadian team that won gold at the 2009 World Junior Championship and earned a silver medal at the 2010 tournament. Pietrangelo's first Olympic gold medal came in Sochi in 2014 and he earned a gold medal with Canada at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Though he did not medal with Canada at the 2011 IIHF World Championship, he was named the best defenseman in the tournament as he led Canada's blueline in scoring with five points (2G, 3A).
