Per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff, Guentzel (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey at practice Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time Guentzel has skated with his teammates since he was hurt Feb. 14 versus Florida. His name has come up in plenty of trade speculation ahead of next Friday's deadline. Guentzel is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, and the Penguins don't want to risk losing him for nothing. He has 22 goals and 52 points in 50 games this season.

Guentzel (upper body) is expected to miss four weeks. He was also placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel was injured Wednesday versus the Panthers, and he'll now be sidelined for a significant chunk of the season. The 29-year-old has 52 points in 50 contests, so he will be a major absence for the Penguins, who are already trailing in the playoff race. Guentzel's timeline suggests he could still be traded if the Penguins are willing to go that route with the pending unrestricted free agent. He will be eligible to return March 10 versus the Oilers at the earliest, but the Penguins' estimate would likely put his return a few days later.

Guentzel (upper body) is being evaluated after Wednesday's game versus the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel earned an assist, his 30th of the campaign, in the contest, but he sustained an injury in the third period. It's unclear if he'll play Thursday versus the Blackhawks, though with the Penguins off for two days after that, they may play it safe. The winger's potential absence puts the Penguins in a precarious position, as they only have 10 healthy forwards on the roster.

Guentzel supplied a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel is on a four-game point streak, including back-to-back games of dishing a power-play assist.

EDGE Analysis

Guentzel is currently stuck in a three-game goal drought despite putting 15 shots on net over that stretch. With 45 points through the opening 40 contests of the season, the winger is on pace for a career-best year that would see him top the 90-point threshold for the first time in his career.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the second period after the Penguins had dug a 4-0 hole for themselves in the first. Guentzel has five multi-point performances in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's piled up seven goals and 13 points while outproducing linemate Sidney Crosby.

That stretch has doubled his 2023-24 goal total, giving him 14 markers -- along with 20 assists -- over 30 games. While Guentzel naturally has to cool off at some point, it wouldn't be surprising to see him comfortably surpass the 30-goal mark for the third straight campaign.
