Guentzel scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old winger spoiled Jeremy Swayman's shutout bid late in the second period, but it was all the offense Carolina could muster. Guentzel didn't take long to adjust to his new teammates and system after being traded by the Penguins -- over the last 11 games, he's racked up three goals and 17 points. Thursday's tally was his 25th of the season, the fourth time in his career he's reached that mark, and Guentzel sits one point short of his fourth career 70-point campaign.

Guentzel supplied a pair of assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

The Guentzel experiement has been a roaring success so far in Raleigh. Since his arrival at the trade deadline, the 29-year-old ex-Penguin has 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in nine games, and he's been a major contributor to the Canes' 7-1-1 record over that span. He continues to shine on the team's top line opposite Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis.

Guentzel notched three assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The former Penguin continues to thrive as a Hurricane, picking up an assist in each period Friday. Guentzel has four multi-point performances in the last five games. In seven games since being traded to Carolina, he's racked up two goals and 11 points, with three of his helpers coming on the man advantage.

Guentzel scored a goal and dished two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

What an acquisition Guentzel has been for Carolina. In addition to his 24th goal and 37th assist of the season, Guentzel added four shots and a plus-3 rating in only 16:25 of ice time. Guentzel seems to be getting better with each game since putting on a Hurricanes jersey as he put up his third multi-point game in a row tonight. He should be picked up immediately in any league where he's available.

Guentzel notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel picked up an assist on Seth Jarvis' tally in the final minute of the second period before beating Anton Forsberg with a wrister on the rush for his first goal with Carolina. The 29-year-old Guentzel now has five points through his first four games since he was dealt from Pittsburgh at the deadline. Overall, he's up to 23 goals and 54 points through 54 games this season.

Guentzel recorded an assist along with three shots on net, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

He helped set up a Martin Necas tally early in the second period, giving Guentzel his first point as a member of the Hurricanes in his second contest for the club. The 29-year-old winger has slotted right into a key role for his new team since being acquired from the Penguins and coming off IR, skating at even strength on a line with Necas and fellow newcomer Evgeny Kuznetsov while seeing shifts on the second power-play unit. That's still a downgrade from having Sidney Crosby as your center though, so Guentzel could have a hard time maintaining the usual point-a-game pace he posted in Pittsburgh.

Guentzel (upper body) has been activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel was officially labeled a game-time decision, but this move should clear the way for him to make his Hurricanes debut. The 29-year-old winger is expected to link up with fellow deadline acquisition Evgeny Kuznetsov on the second line while also joining the No. 2 power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, Guentzel was stuck in a four-game goalless streak, though he racked up three assists and 12 shots over that stretch.

Guentzel (upper body) will be a game-time decision, but there's a good chance he'll make his Carolina debut against the Rangers on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel racked up 22 goals and 52 points through 50 games with the Penguins to start the season before suffering an upper-body injury in mid-February that has forced him to miss the last 13 contests. If he's able to go Tuesday, look for Guentzel to skate on the second line and second power-play unit in his Hurricanes debut.

Guentzel (upper body) and Ty Smith were traded from the Penguins to the Hurricanes on Thursday in exchange for Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel was one of the biggest remaining trade targets, and now he'll be heading to the Hurricanes. The 29-year-old remains on long-term injured reserve, but he was cleared for contact Thursday and should be close to a return. Once he's healthy, Guentzel will bolster the Hurricanes' top six and power play as the team tries to get over the hump that has often tripped it up in the early rounds of the playoffs.

Guentzel (upper body) was spotted with a normal jersey in Thursday's morning skate, suggesting his return is close, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel has missed the past 10 games because of an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old has played 50 games this year, recording 22 goals and 30 assists. Guentzel is fully expected to be moved prior to Friday's trade deadline, so he may have played his last game in a Penguins sweater.
