Guentzel scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel made a dazzling play, kicking the puck up in the air and batting it in with his stick just below the crossbar for the Penguins' second tally. The 27-year-old winger was at his best in the playoffs with eight tallies, two assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-1 rating in seven contests, but the Penguins' season ended with Sunday's loss. The winger is essentially a lock to return to a top-line role in 2022-23 after a 40-goal, 84-point effort in 76 regular-season outings this year.

Guentzel posted an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has yet to be kept off the scoresheet in the playoffs, but his goal streak came to an end at five games. Through six contests, he has seven tallies, two assists, 34 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. With his regular linemate Sidney Crosby (upper body) out, Guentzel will be asked to carry more of the load on offense as the Penguins play to extend their series in Sunday's Game 7.

Guentzel scored a pair of goals on six shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel banked a shot off Igor Shesterkin's skate to open the scoring in the first period before adding another tally late in the second. It's been quite a series for the 27-year-old winger with seven goals through the first five games. Guentzel will look to lead Pittsburgh's offense again Friday as they try to close out the series in Game 6.

Guentzel recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel assisted on Sidney Crosby's power-play tally in the first period before scoring in the second.

Guentzel scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel is up to four goals in three playoff contests after giving the Penguins some insurance in this contest. He was kept rather quiet after posting eight and six shots in Games 1 and 2 of the series. The winger will continue to get plenty of good looks in a top-line role, so he remains a strong fantasy option for the length of the Penguins' playoff run.

Guentzel scored two goals on eight shots in Tuesday's 4-3 triple-overtime Game 1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel singlehandedly erased a 2-0 deficit in the second period, converting all alone in front and later scoring on a 2-on-2 rush. His gaudy shot total can be attributed to the length of the game, as seven different Penguins finished with at least six shots on goal.

Guentzel delivered a hat trick in a 4-0 win over the Bruins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a huge night for Guentzel. He hit the 80-point mark (81) for the first time in his career and he now has 40 snipes, which ties his career best set in 2018-19. Guentzel has seven goals over his last four games and there should be no question about his star quality.

Guentzel recorded two goals and two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has put up seven points (four goals and three assists) in his last two games, both against the Islanders. The 27-year-old winger now has a new career-high 78 points (37 goals and 41 assists), reemerging as one of the league's top scoring threats. With six games remaining, Guentzel will look to eclipse the 40-goal mark for the second time in his career.

Guentzel had two goals, an assist and seven shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel opened the scoring less than six minutes in, then tied it at three late in the second with his 35th goal of the season. He added his third point of the night with an assist on Jeff Carter's power-play goal in the third. Guentzel's three-point performance helped the Penguins pick up a point in the standings, but he failed to score in the shootout, dropping to a surprisingly poor 1-for-9 on shootout attempts this season.

Guentzel scored a goal and registered an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 defeat to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel is riding a three-game point streak and needs just seven more to set a new career best. There is still an outside chance the 27-year-old winger could reach the 40-goal threshold as well, though he'll need to be on heavy pace over the last 11 games of the year. He sits at 33 goals.
