Blues' Alex Pietrangelo: Finishes excellent multi-faceted season

In his eighth full season with the Blues, Pietrangelo notched career highs in goals (15), points (54), shots on goal (216) and blocked shots (164) through 78 games. However, as the captain, Pietrangelo missed his ultimate goal of leading his squad to the playoffs.

Blues' Alex Pietrangelo: Caps off great weekend

This was quite the weekend for Pietrangelo, who managed to notch a whopping seven points over two games. In fact, the 28-year-old has 11 points over his last four contests. After this hot streak he has 50 points in 68 games, and he's one point away from tying his career high.

Blues' Alex Pietrangelo: Racks up three points in victory

Pietrangelo continues to play a massive role on the Blues blueline, logging 25:12 of ice time against New York. The 28-year-old has compiled seven points in his last three games and is up to 14 goals and 46 points in 67 games. The Blues are only three points back of the second Wild Card position in the Western Conference and they'll be counting on their top blueliner to keep supplying offense.

Blues' Alex Pietrangelo: Keeps contributions coming

For the most part, you know what you're getting with Pietrangelo each year: a solid defenseman who can set up his teammates and is good for about 45 points. He's close to that number and could break 50 for just the third time in his career, and if you're in need of assists, he's someone who should be in your lineup.

Blues' Alex Pietrangelo: Two-point effort Saturday

He'd produced only four points (three goals, one assist) in 15 games since the beginning of February heading into this one, so Saturday's dominant fantasy performance was a welcome sight for the Blues and for anyone with shares in Pietrangelo. The 28-year-old now has 12 goals and 41 points on the season, the sixth time in his career he's broken the 40-point plateau, but he'll need to heat up down the stretch to have a shot at matching his career-high 51.
