Guentzel provided an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has a point in all four games versus the Rangers, and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in nine contests in the playoffs. The winger is up to four goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating. Guentzel's top-line assignment and significant power-play role will make him a key player as the Hurricanes look to bounce back from their 3-1 series deficit.

Guentzel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel opened the scoring midway through the third period, deflecting a feed from Dmitry Orlov past Igor Shesterkin to give Carolina an early 1-0 lead. While the Canes find themselves down 3-0 in the series, Guentzel has done his part, recording three goals and four points in the three contests. The 29-year-old winger has four goals and eight points in eight games so far in the postseason.

Guentzel potted two goals on five shots in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel was set up on both goals by Sebastian Aho, but it wasn't enough to lift Carolina over New York. Guentzel's two goals were complemented by a plus-2 rating and 26:39 of ice time. The 29-year-old has done his part since coming over in a trade from Pittsburgh - in 17 regular season games, Guentzel racked up 25 points. In the postseason, he has seven points in as many games. If Carolina can get back in this series, they will continue to need contributions from the star forward.

Guentzel recorded a helper, five shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel helped out on a Jaccob Slavin tally in the first period. Through six playoff contests, Guentzel has a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should continue to work in a top-line role, as Guentzel has displayed excellent chemistry with Sebastian Aho since he was traded from the Penguins.

Guentzel scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in Monday's 5-3 Game 2 victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel was also given a 10-minute misconduct late in the third period as the game got a little chippy at the end. It was a strong bounce-back performance for the 29-year-old winger after having been held off the scoresheet in Game 1 while failing to record a shot for just the second time all season.

EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has been scorching hot since being traded to Carolina from Pittsburgh, logging eight goals and 17 assists in 17 games played. He'll look to stay hot on the power play during the playoffs -- he's racked up 22 points with the man advantage through 67 contests between the Penguins and the Hurricanes this season.

Guentzel notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel continues to thrive with the Hurricanes in a top-line role. He set up Sebastian Aho for the empty-netter Sunday to seal the win. Since he was traded from Pittsburgh, Guentzel has eight goals and 17 helpers over 17 appearances. That gives him 77 points, 238 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-25 rating through 67 contests overall.

Guentzel scored a pair of empty-net goals in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
This is what dreams are made of in fantasy hockey. Just when you think your player is about to lay an egg in the box score, he scores back-to-back insurance goals for his team and provides that huge rush for DFS players who likely paid a premium to roll with one of the league's top wingers. Guentzel has fit right in with the Hurricanes, adding 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists) through 16 games following his trade from the Penguins and working past an upper-body injury. As expected, the Hurricanes have been rolling with Guentzel on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit, and the transition from Sidney Crosby to Sebastian Aho as Guentzel's center has gone quite smoothly.

Guentzel scored two even-strength goals and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The former Penguin got Carolina on the board late in the second period after the team had fallen behind 2-0, and Guentzel then picked up a helper on Sebastian Aho's game-winner late in the third before collecting a loose puck and flipping home an empty-netter. It's Guentzel's third multi-point performance in the last four games, and over the past 12 contests, he'd racked up five goals and 20 points as the Canes try to catch the Rangers for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
