Guentzel scored two goals including the game winner Tuesday versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
His performance was highlighted by his overtime score. Sidney Crosby flicked the puck over the Panthers' defenseman, and Guentzel won a race and deked out Roberto Luongo for the win. This is Guentzel's second straight two-goal game, and the 24-year-old continues to extend his career high with 33 scores on the season.

Guentzel tallied his first career four-point night with a pair of goals and two assists in a 5-1 victory against the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to his historic four-point performance, Guentzel reached the 30-goal mark for the season, giving himself his first 30-goal campaign. Guentzel and Sidney Crosby have excellent chemistry, and with Crosby averaging 2.0 points per game in the last 11 contests, Guentzel is going to be the biggest beneficiary. Guentzel has 31 goals and 60 points -- both of which are career highs -- in 65 games this season.

Guentzel scored a goal versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has quietly been rolling along this season, as he tallied seven points in his previous 10 outings while averaging 19:31 of ice time. A permanent fixture on Sidney Crosby's left wing, the 23-year-old already set career highs in goals (29) and assists (27). Perhaps the one knock on the winger's performance thus far is his limited contributions on the power play, where he recorded just seven of his 56 points this season, despite logging 2:02 of ice time per game with the man advantage.

Guentzel picked up an assist versus New York on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel continues to role this season, as he has recorded five points in his previous six games, along with 16 shots, five blocks and four PIM. The 23-year-old has already set new career highs in goals (28) and points (54), which is no doubt a benefit of playing on Sidney Crosby's wing all season.

Guentzel scored two goals in a 5-3 victory against the Senators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old continued his magical season Friday, adding to his career high in goals and setting a new career best in points. Through 51 games, Guentzel has a team-high 26 goals and 49 points. After Friday, his shooting percentage rose to 18.4 percent, which is rather high, but it's tough to bet against the young sharpshooter and whatever production he adds at this point is gravy on top.

Guentzel scored a pair of goals in Saturday's 5-2 defeat to Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has been nearly unstoppable of late, as he has recorded 10 goals in his previous 10 outings. Despite having world-class talents Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel as teammates, it's the 23-year-old Guentzel who currently leads the club in goals (23). With Patric Hornqvist (concussion) sidelined the past two contests, Guentzel has moved up to the top power-play unit and has a pair of goals with the man advantage to show for it.

Guentzel inked a five-year, $30 million contract extension with the Penguins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh off a two-goal game against the Hurricanes, Guentzel has some new green to his name as the Penguins retake the ice Thursday to take on the Red Wings out of the holiday break. The 24-year-old winger has enjoyed a bounce-back 2018-19 season after a slightly down sophomore campaign, compiling 33 points -- 15 goals and 18 assists -- over 36 contests. The contract kicks in during the 2019-20 season, so Guentzel will remain under wraps with Pittsburgh through 2024-25.

Guentzel assisted on both of his team's goals in Thursday's 2-1 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Both of the goals were scored by Bryan Rust, and Guentzel was credited with the lone assist on each. With 31 points in 35 games, Guentzel's creeping up on a point-per-game pace. He's locked into a first-line role, so expect the points to keep coming.

Guentzel dished out three assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel also tied Kris Letang's game-high total of six shots. He was one of three Penguins to record at least three points in this one -- joining Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel, the latter of whom totaled four points courtesy of two goals and two assists. All three goals scored by Crosby or Kessel were assisted by Guentzel, as New York had no answer for the trio.

Guentzel registered a goal and an assist versus the Stars on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel clearly benefited from the return of Sidney Crosby as the two combined on both of their goals Wednesday. While the youngster can still produce with other players, he seems to be at his best when lined up with Sid the Kid -- a role coach Mike Sullivan is unlikely to give to anyone else in the near future.
