Despite some speculation, the Blues didn’t announce a new contract for captain Alex Pietrangelo before their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Petro is on the last year of a $6.5 million contract deal, and there is some concern that the signing of Justin Faulk to an extension right after the trade that brought him to St. Louis means that the clock is running for Pietrangelo.
Doug Armstrong spoke to TSN and The Athletic reporter Pierre LeBrun, and was asked about the contract negotiations for Pietrangelo. He demurred when it came to contract specifics, as one would expect.
