While we all love to see our teams win, we all need to remember that hockey is just a game, and the players are just people. Some times definitely come before hockey and family is definitely one of those things.
Today Pietreangelo officially returned to the Golden Knights and made the announcement to the media on why he was away.
His 4 year old daughter originally caught the flu, and then from this developed a lesion on her brained which unfortunately caused her to lose her motor skills. She ended up being hooked up to a feeding tube.
Thankfully for Alex and his family, his daughter have dramatically improved and she is now up and walking. According to the doctors, she is expected to make a full recovery.
Her condition has improved dramatically in the past few days and she's been up walking around after being bed ridden for 3 weeks.
The doctors have told the Pietrangelos that a full recovery is expected.� SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 17, 2022
