Pietrangelo left Saturday’s game due to a questionable hit

Untitled

As bad as losing Game 1 of the second round is, losing Alex Pietrangelo would be much worse. That’s the scenario the Blues might be facing after Pietrangelo was the victim of a questionable hit on Saturday.

Dwight King pushed Pietrangelo into the boards on a hit that the Blues took exception to. However, King only got a two minute boarding penalty as punishment. You can view the hit as well as the game’s highlights below:

“Obviously it’s a dangerous hit,” Andy McDonald said. “He goes in and those are the types of hits that guys get hurt really bad.”

Alex Steen chimed in, “I obviously think its a dangerous hit. I am going leave it at that. Petro didnt return, so we will see how he is doing.”

It might not surprise you to learn that the Kings saw things differently.

“I thought it was a two-minute penalty,” Darryl Sutter said.

To make matters worse for St. Louis, Los Angeles scored a shorthanded goal on the King penalty and went onto win 3-1.
