Guentzel (ankle) participated in a practice Friday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Guentzel has been skating for over a week, he practiced in a non-contact jersey with other Penguins for the first time since undergoing ankle surgery on Aug. 2. Guentzel has a chance to return in time for the start of the NHL season, but he is more likely to miss a few games at this time. He had 36 goals and 73 points in 78 contests last season.
