Guentzel scored twice Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel had given the Pens a 2-1 lead in the first two minutes of the third when a shot from Erik Karlsson went in off his skate at the left post. He then tied it 3-3 with just 21 seconds left in regulation when he picked up a loose puck and backhanded it past Samuel Ersson. Guentzel is on a five-game, six-point streak (three goals, three assists), and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in his last 18 games (eight goals, 13 assists). None of those points have come on the power play, where the Pens have been horrendous (0-for-26 in the past 10 games).

Guentzel earned an assist versus Tampa Bay on Thursday to extend his point streak to four games.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has points in 12 of the Pens' last 13 contests, tallying a combined five goals and 11 helpers. At his current rate, the 29-year-old winger is well off his 35-40 goal pace from the last two seasons and would finish the year with around 25 tallys but is also on track to reach the 90-point threshold for the first time in his eight-year NHL career.

Guentzel scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Drew O'Connor saw Guentzel parked on the back door in the first, and he made a perfect pass that all Guentzel had to do was tuck the puck into a gaping net. He snapped a five-game goal drought with the snipe. The winger is pacing toward a his first 90-plus point season, and since the start of November, Guentzel has put up at least one point in 10 of 11 games (14 points; five goals, nine assists).

Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is once again enjoying his time on a line with Sidney Crosby. Guentzel's got a five-game point streak going, and on the season he's up to six goals and 18 points in 14 games, putting him on pace to top the career-high 84 points he amassed in 2021-22. With 47 shots on net and a plus-7 rating, Guentzel's also trending toward career-best numbers in those categories.

EDGE Analysis
Guentzel wrapped up the California trip with three goals and three helpers over three contests. The winger's tally in the third period gave the Penguins a 3-2 lead. He's up to five goals, 15 points, 44 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 outings this season.

Guentzel recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel went offside on the Penguins' first empty-netter attempt, but he made up for it by setting up Sidney Crosby's goal. The 29-year-old Guentzel has five points over his last two games. The winger has four goals, 10 helpers, 39 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances this season.

Guentzel scored twice, added two assists and went plus-4 in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
One of Guentzel's helpers came on the power play. His first tally also stood as the game-winner, his second such goal of the season. The winger is up to four goals, 13 points, 36 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests. As long as he can stay healthy, Guentzel remains a legitimate threat to maintain a point-per-game pace on the Penguins' top line.

Guentzel garnered an assist versus the Avalanche on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Guentzel has helpers in two straight games but remains stuck in a four-game goal drought. At this rate, the 29-year-old winger is well off a 40-goal pace or even the 36 goals he put up last season. Fantasy players may have concerns about Guentzel's slump but playing alongside Sidney Crosby should help the winger work his way out of it.

Guentzel delivered a goal and two assists in a 5-1 win over the Flames on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal -- a one-timer from the right circle set up by Kris Letang -- was his first of the season. Guentzel had missed an easy goal in the first period, but he made no mistake on this one. He has points (one goal, five assists) in all three Penguins' games so far.
