The Penguins selected Angello out of Cornell in the fifth round (No. 145 overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Primarily stationed with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) throughout his tenure with the organization, the massive Angello (6-foot-5, 210 pounds) made his NHL debut during the 2019-20 season.

Over three NHL campaigns, Angello appeared in 31 games and scored five points (three goals, two assists), all with the Penguins.
