Guentzel scored a goal and doled out a pair of assists Sunday in a 6-3 win over Washington. He also added four shots, two hits and a plus-3 rating.
EDGE Analysis
Pittsburgh's top line of Guentzel, Sidney Crosby (one goal, one assist) and Bryan Rust (two goals, one assist) dominated the Capitals, combining for eight points and 14 shots on goal. Guentzel tallied what proved to be the game-winner midway through the second period when he followed his own rebound off the end boards and put it past Vitek Vanecek for a 4-2 Washington lead. He also set up a power-play goal by Rust and an empty-netter by Crosby. Guentzel will take a three-game point streak (two goals, four assists) into Tuesday's rematch with the Caps.

EDGE Analysis
Guentzel gave the Penguins a 3-2 lead early in third period when he beat Semyon Varlamov with a low shot from the slot. He also picked up an assist in the first period on Pierre-Olivier Joseph's first NHL goal. For Guentzel, it was his second multi-point game of the season and first since Jan. 19. He was also a plus in the plus/minus ledger (+2) for just the second time all year.

Guentzel collected a goal on a game-high seven shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel stayed with a rebound on the doorstep and whacked it past Alexandar Georgiev, tying the game at 4-4 with 10:42 left in regulation. It was the third goal of the year for Guentzel, who had been a little slow out of the gate in that department after an injury-shortened 2019-20 season. A 40-goal scorer in 2018-19, it's likely just a matter of time before Guentzel starts filling the net again.

Guentzel scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It was his 100th career goal. Guentzel has points in four of his last five games and is well on his way to another strong offensive year. He's one of the top wingers in the NHL, but people always think it's because of his linemates -- who else gets to play with either Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin? Guentzel's talent is real, but his deployment is drool-worthy. He has two goals and five points in six games so far.

Guentzel had a goal and an assist along with four shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win versus the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel struck on the power play just under six minutes into the second period to pull the Penguins to within 3-2. He later assisted on Sidney Crosby's overtime goal. After being held without a point in the season opener, Guentzel has since hit the scoresheet in each of the last three games, totalling one goal and three assists.

Guentzel collected an assist with two shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over Washington. He also had two hits and scored the shootout winner.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel beat Ilya Samsonov with a pretty five-hole deke to clinch the shootout. He also set up Evan Rodrigues' first goal of the season on the game's opening shift. The 26-year-old Guentzel was limited to just 39 games in 2019-20 but still managed to scored 20 goals and 43 points. He is one of top left wingers in fantasy hockey, especially when he's playing alongside Sidney Crosby.

Guentzel scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel set up center Sidney Crosby for the opening tally early in the first period, and then supplied the empty-netter to seal the Penguins' series-tying win. After losing the last two-plus months of the regular season to a shoulder injury, Guentzel has picked up a goal and two helpers in the first two games of the playoffs. He's a premium option in DFS while firmly attached on Crosby's line.

Guentzel (shoulder) was a full participant in Monday's training camp session.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel was expected to miss the remainder of the season when he suffered a shoulder injury in late-December. The winger figure to jump right back onto the top line alongside Sidney Crosby and will look to add to his already impressive postseason numbers (43 points in 41 contests).
