Guentzel scored his fifth power-play goal of the season Sunday in a 4-2 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel's marker on the man advantage at 16:04 of the third period gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead. It was the 30-year-old's third consecutive game with a goal, and he's registered at least one point in five of his last six games. Guentzel is producing at a point-per-game pace in his first season with the Bolts, and he's tied for fourth on the team in scoring with 12 goals and 25 points.

Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in an 8-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
He also had five shots, one block and a plus-4 rating. Guentzel has a goal in each of his last two games, plus an assist, and he's put up 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists) and 66 shots in 24 games this season. His work this season has earned him a role on Team USA for the 4-Nations Cup, which will be held early in the year. Guentzel is a point-per-game fantasy sniper on a strong team. Enough said?

Guentzel (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Thursday versus San Jose, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was some concern Tuesday as Guentzel left practice early, but there is nothing to worry about, as the talented winger will start on the top line alongside Brayden Point. Guentzel has 10 goals and 22 points across 23 appearances this season, including three goals and two assists on the power play.

Guentzel was unable to finish practice Tuesday and is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel's early exit from practice may not be a significant issue considering the team doesn't play again until Thursday's matchup with San Jose, but fantasy players will want to monitor the situation nonetheless. With Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury, the Bolts could be in danger of missing two of their first-line forwards against the Sharks.

Guentzel scored a goal on six shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel contributed a goal in the third period as the Lightning made a comeback attempt. He has scored three times and added an assist over his last four contests. The 30-year-old could be leaned on even more for offense if Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) is out beyond missing Saturday's game. Guentzel is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 61 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Guentzel scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel found the back of the net in the early stages of the first period following setups from Brandon Hagel and Nikita Kucherov on the power play. He'd later double his tally just three minutes into the final frame on a setup from Nick Perbix, giving him nine goals on the year. Guentzel has seven multi-point games this season, including three across his last six outings. The 30-year-old is up to 20 points in 20 games this season, and he should continue to find ample opportunities to keep producing as long as he remains on the top line alongside Brayden Point and Kucherov.

Guentzel logged two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel logged his second straight multi-point effort and his sixth such performance this season. One of his helpers came on the power play. Guentzel continues to excel in a top-six role in his first year with the Lightning, earning seven goals, 10 assists, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 16 appearances. He often hovers right around a point-per-game pace, so this production is sustainable.

Guentzel scored twice for the Lightning in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel opened the scoring in the first period when he wired a shot from the top of the slot off a drop pass from Nick Paul. His second went into an empty net. Guentzel is clipping along at a point-per-game pace (seven goals, eight assists in 15 games), with 41 shots.

Guentzel scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has three goals and five points over his last three contests. His tally Friday was just his second power-play point, both of which are goals, this season. He's up to five tallies, seven helpers, 34 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 11 games. Guentzel is locked in on the top line and should continue to hover around a point-per-game pace.

Guentzel scored two goals in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has posted his first multi-point streak of the season, as he was coming off a two-assist performance in the 3-2 win over the Predators on Monday. Guentzel opened the year on a four-game point streak, and while he hasn't been as consistent of late, he still has six points (three goals, three assists) over his last five games.
