Guentzel (shoulder) will join his teammates on the ice as part of Phase 2 of the NHL's Return to Play. According to coach Mike Sullivan, "Jake is participating in the informal skates this week with other players. His progress is as anticipated and we're very encouraged where he's at," Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team has consistently indicated that Guentzel could be ready for the 24-team postseason and this latest step would seem to indicate everything remains on track. Once given the all-clear, the winger figures to jump back onto the top line with Sidney Crosby, which could reunite the 2017 "Sid and the Kids" line along with Conor Sheary.

Guentzel (shoulder) remains on track in his recovery and could be an option for the Penguins once (if) the season resumes. General manager Jim Rutherford told reporters, "I would expect that, knowing Jake Guentzel, he's going to be ready," Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel's timeline would have him available in late April to early May. If the league resumes play this season, the winger figures to slot back onto the No. 1 line which would feature Sidney Crosby and Jason Zucker. In 41 postseason contests, the 25-year-old has racked up 24 goals and 19 helpers and would provide top-end fantasy value.

Guentzel underwent shoulder surgery Tuesday and will miss 4-6 months.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel scored his 20th goal of the season and 200th career point on the play before crashing awkwardly into the boards. The winger was named to his first NHL All-Star Game just hours before Monday's matchup with the Senators and will now be unable to play in the game. With Guentzel out of the lineup, there could be several players who get looks on the top line with Evgeni Malkin, including Dominik Kahun, Alex Galchenyuk or Patric Hornqvist. Given his lengthy absence, Guentzel will no doubt be placed on injured reserve shortly.

Guentzel (undisclosed) left Monday's game against Ottawa and is being evaluated, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan is hoping to have more information tomorrow but things don't look good for the Penguins' leading scorer. After his goal in the third period, Guentzel took a nasty, head-first spill into the boards but was able to skate off the ice under his own power. The 25-year-old winger has 20 goals and 43 points after his three-point performance Monday.

Guentzel scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel put an end to his two-game mini-slump with the lone goal for the Penguins. He's up to 18 goals, 37 points and 114 shots through 36 games. Guentzel will likely end 2019-20 with a similar line to his 40-goal, 76-point campaign from last year, which makes him universally valuable in fantasy.

Guentzel had three assists and one shot in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel drew the primary assist on both of Bryan Rust's goals in the second period, then assisted on Jack Johnson's third-period goal. Guentzel has been on a scoring tear, hitting the scoresheet in 12 of his last 14 games, with six multi-point games in that stretch. The 25-year-old has 17 goals and 36 points in 33 games this season.

Guentzel scored his team-leading 17th goal of the season in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The hosts opened the scoring on Guentzel's lovely finish on a two-on-one, partial breakaway alongside Brandon Rust, but Pittsburgh allowed Montreal to score four unanswered goals and would see their 10-game home point streak end as a result. Guentzel, meanwhile, is in the midst of a career year and figures to wind up with 80-100 points in 2019-20, provided he stays healthy.

Guentzel scored a goal and added two assists in a 5-3 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel is proving that his 40-goal, 76-point campaign last season was no fluke. He's actually pushing along at a slightly better pace this season. You know what to do.

Guentzel notched a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel also led the Penguins with seven shots on goal while factoring in on both of their tallies in the loss. He's on a seven-game point streak, with seven goals and six helpers in that span. The 25-year-old has 15 goals and 27 points in 26 games this season. It seems Guentzel has only gotten better since joining Evgeni Malkin's line while Sidney Crosby is recovering from surgery for a core muscle injury.

Guentzel scored a pair of goals and collected two assists, finishing Wednesday night's 8-6 win over Vancouver with four points.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel tallied a pair of points with the man advantage Wednesday and two more points at even strength, including the primary helper on Kris Letang's game-winning goal. With 11 points in his last six games, Guentzel will be looking to make it seven straight contests with at least a point when the Penguins battle the Blue Jackets in Columbus on Friday.
