Pietrangelo will be a full participant in practice Saturday after having an appendectomy during his seven-game absence.
Pietrangelo has been out of action since April 2 but appears to be on track to return for Game 1 in Dallas on Monday. He had only four goals -- his lowest total since 2009-10 -- and 29 assists in 64 appearances during the regular season. Once he receives clearance to play, he should return to his spot on the first pairing and could see time on the man advantage.
