Guentzel (upper body) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Edmonton, Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel sported a no-contact jersey during Pittsburgh's optional morning skate. Sam Poulin and Drake Caggiula, who were both called up from the minors Sunday, were on the ice as well. Coach Mike Sullivan called them all game-time decisions, so the Penguins' lineup won't be known until the pregame warmups. Guentzel didn't play Saturday against Columbus after he left Thursday's game versus Los Angeles.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has announced that Guentzel (upper body) won't play Saturday against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel was injured late in Thursday's contest versus Los Angeles. Pittsburgh will also be missing forward Teddy Blueger (upper body) again, so the team will have to play with seven defensemen against the Blue Jackets. Consider Guentzel day-to-day for now.

Guentzel is being evaluated for an upper-body injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel will travel for the Penguins' upcoming five-game road trip, but his status for Saturday night's matchup with Columbus is murky at best at this point. If Guentzel and Teddy Blueger (upper body) are both unable to go versus the Blue Jackets, Pittsburgh will likely have to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Guentzel (undisclosed) was injured late in Thursday's game versus the Kings, and head coach Mike Sullivan didn't have an update on his status after the game.
EDGE Analysis
It was another productive contest for Guentzel prior to the injury, as he scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 with four PIM. He was then hit by by Brendan Lemieux up high and was struck by a shot from teammate Kris Letang. Consider Guentzel day-to-day for now. The Penguins begin a road trip in Columbus on Saturday.

Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-2 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel drove through the neutral zone late in the first period before sending a pass in front of a sliding Erik Cernak to Sidney Crosby, who made no mistake. He then tipped a Kris Letang shot at 2:28 of the third past Brian Elliott. That goal stood as the winner. Guentzel has a goal and an assist in each of the first two games, and is clearly taking advantage of his chances.

Guentzel's two points helped propel the Penguins to a 6-2 victory over the Coyotes on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel, who is coming off his second 40-goal campaign, looks like he will benefit from playing on a line with Sidney Crosby. The 2013 third-round draft selection scored a goal and earned an assist Thursday. Guentzel matched his career high with 40 goals last season and had 44 assists. He also added fantasy value with 264 shots on goal and a plus-13 rating. Guentzel did all of his scoring against the slow-starting Coyotes during the opening 5:10 of the first period Thursday, helping the Penguins to a 3-0 lead.

Guentzel reached the 40-goal mark for the second time in his six-year NHL career this season.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to tying his career-high goal mark, Guentzel set new personal pests in assists (44), points (84), shots (264) and power-play points (22). The Minnesota native is one of the few top talents on the team that isn't entering a contract year along with Sidney Crosby, so look for the duo to continue to feature together on the Penguins' top line.
