LAS VEGAS -- Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo did not take the ice for pregame warmups before Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Edmonton Oilers.

Pietrangelo played in all six games against the Minnesota Wild in the first round, tallying three points (1 goal, 2 assists) over the first three games.

Coach Bruce Cassidy did not indicate after the morning skate that Pietrangelo could miss the game.

The team, however, tweeted that he is out with an illness.
