Jake Guentzel Stats

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel scored two goals and added a helper to defeat Ottawa by a score of 4-1 on Friday. Guentzel now has 20 goals and 22 assists in 41 games. Before Friday's contest, the centerman had only two points in five games. Against the Senators, Guentzel had five shots on goal and three shots blocked. It could be challenging for Guentzel to get back on the scoresheet in Pittsburgh's next game, as they face off against New Jersey on Sunday. The Devils have won five of six game and have allowed a combined 16 markers.

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel is expected to be in the lineup on Saturday against Seattle after sitting out Friday's practice with an illness. The talented winger has just returned from an upper-body injury, and he's been in great form, getting at least a point on the board in all three outings since his comeback. Guentzel has averaged over a point per game so far this season, getting five goals and three assists in seven games. He will assume his normal position on the top line Saturday, and this should be a great spot for Guentzel to extend his point streak, as the Kraken are weak defensively and allow over three goals per game (3.17).

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel felt sick and didn't practice on Friday. The silky winger has just returned from injury and has quickly put together a three-game point streak, but he could now be sidelined again. It's currently unknown if he can play Saturday against Seattle. Danton Heinen, who took over from Guentzel on the first line when he was injured, was once again riding with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust Friday. He should remain on the top line Saturday if Guentzel can't go, and that will provide a nice short-term boost for Heinen's fantasy value.

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel (upper body) was back in the lineup Saturday against Seattle, scoring the team's lone goal in a 3-1 defeat. He netted an unassisted goal in the middle of the second frame to put the Penguins 1-0 up, but Jordan Eberle quickly struck back and the Kraken ended up handing Pittsburgh its fourth consecutive loss. Mike Sullivan's men couldn't end a losing run even with Jason Zucker (undisclosed) also returning to action. Guentzel rejoined the first line and had no trouble getting through over 22 minutes of action. He's now on four goals and six points with five games played.
