Vegas Golden Knights Defender to Take Indefinite Leave from Team

The Vegas Golden Knights announced today that defenseman Alex Pietrangelo is taking an indefinite leave from the team due to an illness in his family.

Pietrangelo has requested privacy during this time.

So far in the '22-23 campaign, the 32-year old has 21 points in 23 games for the Golden Knights. He - like many on the roster - have thrived under new head coach Bruce Cassidy, and Vegas will miss his services.

For now, however, all we can do is hope for the best for Alex Pietrangelo and his family.
