Alex Pietrangelo, defenseman for the Vegas Golden Knights, is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a hip injury, yet he remains optimistic about the potential to play this season. Pietrangelo has faced challenges since succumbing to an injury earlier this year, leading to various discussions about his recovery timeline and readiness for a return to the ice.

Despite this setback, Pietrangelo has not ruled out the possibility of making a comeback before the season ends. The Golden Knights are closely monitoring his progress, and his return would be a significant boost to the team’s defensive unit as they contend for playoff positioning.

Fans are eager to see the veteran defenseman back in action, especially after his crucial role in the Knights’ previous successful campaigns. The team’s coaching staff is hopeful that with continued rehabilitation, he will be able to rejoin his teammates in the competitive landscape of the NHL later this season.
