Alex Pietrangelo shared the heart-wrenching health-scare story of his four-year-old daughter today in an interview with The Atheltic

Alex Pietrangelo's 4-year-old daughter Evelyn got the flu over Thanksgiving, which developed into a lesion on her brain & lost all motor skills, eating, walking, talking, even opening her eyes.

After a couple scary weeks she's improved a lot over the last couple days

Pietrangelo's face lit up while he was describing her walking around his house the last couple days.

Doctors told him they expect Evelyn to make a full recovery, and Pietrangelo now feels ready to return to game action.

In moments like these, family is much more important than hockey. We wish the best to Pietrangelo's family, and we hope that his daughter's recovery goes well.
