Guentzel (concussion) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup with Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel will miss his fourth straight game following an illegal hit from Buffalo's Rasmus Ristolainen. The 22-year-old Guentzel was averaging a point per game in his 13 outings prior to getting hurt, the benefit of playing alongside Sidney Crosby. Once the winger is cleared to play, it is uncertain whether he will return to the Pens' top line with Bryan Rust back and healthy.

Guentzel (concussion) joined teammates on the ice Sunday, but sported a non-contact jersey while doing so, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's pretty safe to assume his non-contact jersey rules him out for Sunday's contest as he recovers from a concussion, but he's making progress. Once he sheds the non-contact uniform and is cleared to go, the winger could be safely utilized in both season-long and daily formats, with Wednesday against Chicago appearing to be the earliest return date at this point.

Guentzel (concussion) missed the Penguins' game-day practice Thursday, effectively ruling him out versus Ottawa, Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel, who left Tuesday's matchup after a questionable hit from Buffalo's Rasmus Ristolainen, should probably be considered doubtful Friday's contest given the tight timeline with back-to-back contests. Prior to getting hurt, the winger had racked up 10 points in as many games playing alongside Sidney Crosby. With concussions notoriously difficult to pin down, it is unclear how long the 22-year-old might be sidelined.

Guentzel was forced out of Tuesday's game against the Sabres and he was diagnosed with a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel was hit by Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen on a play near the blue line and well away from the puck, so it's likely the Buffalo rearguard gets a call from the league office on this one. It's uncertain who will take Guentzel's place on the top scoring line with Sidney Crosby and Conor Sheary. It might be an existing player on the team or the team could recall a player from the AHL and juggle lines.

Guentzel tallied three assists Sunday against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

He set up each of Sidney Crosby's three goals with primary assists. Despite standing 5-foot-10, Guentzel has shown a propensity for doing the dirty corner work in a fearless manner. Provided he can stay healthy, the rookie has a strong fantasy future ahead of him. Following Sunday's three-point showing, the 22-year-old has 11 goals and 25 points in 34 games. He has only one power-play point but the team is pretty well stacked on the man advantage.

Guentzel collected a pair of assists in Monday's shootout loss to Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

He's skating primarily with Sidney Crosby and Conor Sheary at even strength on a line that continues to pay dividends. Not only has Guentzel scored four goals and nine points in his last nine games, but the rookie has also logged more time in his last two tilts than in his first 29. Of course, Pittsburgh's forwards have been decimated by injury in recent weeks, leading to the increased action, but Guentzel is proving he can handle whatever opportunity is thrown his way. His future is bright.

Guentzel potted his 10th goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel may be skating on the third line, but he's scored four times in his last seven games and is proving to be a solid depth contributor. The rookie does see power-play time and has put up 19 points in just 30 games, so if you're looking for a guy to add down the stretch, Guentzel could be your man.

Guentzel scored his eighth goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 loss against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel has a goal and three points over his past two outings, and he finished February with three goals and eight points in 12 games. He is still only worth a look in deeper fantasy pools, but Guentzel is a player to monitor going forward if he continues to play alongside Sidney Crosby and score on a semi-regular basis.

Guentzel set up two goals in Pittsburgh's 4-2 win over Philadelphia on Saturday. One of the goals came on the power play.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last nine games and he's seeing time alongside Sidney Crosby. That alone makes Guentzel a worthy fantasy play.

Guentzel scored his sixth goal in Tuesday's 4-0 blanking of Vancouver on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He tapped in a pass from Sidney Crosby to give the Pens an early third-period, two-goal lead. Guentzel continues to see top-six minutes -- mostly with Crosby -- and looks more comfortable by the game. The rookie, who registered a career-high five shots Tuesday, now has two goals and four points in his last six contests.
