LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo was honored before appearing in his 1,000th NHL game Monday night.
Pietrangelo skated onto the ice with sons at his side. He joined his wife, Jayne, as she stood with their daughters, his parents and Vegas general manager Kelly McCrimmon.
Jay Bouwmeester, David Backes and Carlo Coliacovo were just a few of Pietrangelo’s former teammates who were inside T-Mobile Arena for the two-time Stanley Cup champion’s milestone night.
A video tribute included testimonials from Bouwmeester, Backes and former Blues coach Craig Berube. Vegas teammates Mark Stone and Alec Martinez, who skated in his 799th career game, also spoke on the video along with Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy.
