Golden Knights' Alex Pietrangelo: Returning to action Saturday

Pietrangelo (personal) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Islanders, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Pietrangelo missed nine games as his four-year-old daughter developed a lesion on her brain after contracting the flu and was seriously ill. She has improved considerably, allowing Pietrangelo to return to the lineup Saturday. Pietrangelo will quarterback the first power-play unit as usual. He has three goals and 21 points in 23 games this season.
