Jake Guentzel - NHL News & Rumors

Records pair of helpers Guentzel logged two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact 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.

Two helpers make seven on season Guentzel set up two goals Monday in a 3-2 OT win over Nashville.

Impact The points ended a short two-game drought. Guentzel has nine points, including seven helpers, and 29 shots in nine games. His shooting percentage is a queasy 6.9, which is well below his career mark of 15.0. What does that mean? Well, things tend to trend toward the mean, so expect Guentzel to start scoring goals in bunches.

Mr. Consistency gets two points Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in an 8-5 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.

Impact He also had a game-high nine shots. Guentzel has been held off the scoresheet just once in six games so far, and he has two goals and five assists in that span. His nine shots Tuesday equaled the number he put up in his previous four games combined. Guetnzel has been a point-per-game (1.06) player since 2019-20 (314 games), and will deliver that kind of total this season.

Season-opening point streak Guentzel picked up an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over Vegas.

Impact His season-long point streak stands at three games and four assists. Guentzel is known as a goal scorer, but hasn't scored yet this season. There's no reason for concern - he looks like a strong fit on the top line, and the goals will come. Last season, Guentzel scored 30 goals between Pittsburgh and Carolina, and he has two 40-goal campaigns in his career.

Sets up two goals Friday Guentzel recorded two assists in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Guentzel inked a seven-year deal with the Lightning in the offseason after spending eight of his previous nine seasons with the Penguins, and while he was doubtful to feature in the season opener after missing practice earlier this week due to an undisclosed injury, he didn't have problems featuring in the top line alongside Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point while delivering an excellent performance. Guentzel should have plenty of opportunities to produce in the first line of one of the best offenses in the NHL, and he'll look for his first goal of the campaign against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Ready to play Friday Guentzel (undisclosed) is practicing on the top line Friday, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Guentzel left practice early Monday and sat out Tuesday's skate, but he will be in the lineup Friday for Opening Night in Carolina. Guentzel will start on the top line, alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, as well as play on the top power play. The 30-year-old had many productive seasons on a line with Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, but he could surpass his career high in goals (40) and points (84), playing on the Lightning's top unit.

Absent from practice Tuesday Guentzel was not on the ice for practice Tuesday with an undisclosed injury, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Guentzel left practice early Monday but coach Jon Cooper dismissed the severity of the issue, saying it was nothing to worry about. However, the fact that Guentzel was not participating in Tuesday's session is certainly going to raise concerns among fans and fantasy players alike. The Bolts don't start the season until Friday's matchup with Carolina, so Guentzel still has plenty of time to get back to 100 percent.
