At practice Friday Guentzel (ankle) participated in a practice Friday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.

Impact While Guentzel has been skating for over a week, he practiced with other Penguins for the first time since undergoing ankle surgery on Aug. 3. Guentzel has a chance to return in time for the start of the NHL season, but he is more likely to miss a few games at this time. Guentzel had 36 goals and 73 points in 78 games last season.

Skating on his own Guentzel (ankle) skated individually Thursday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It's a good sign that Guentzel is on the ice to begin training camp, but he still has quite a bit of work to do to recover from ankle surgery he underwent in August. The 28-year-old winger is still expected to miss a handful of games early in the campaign.

Expected to miss little time Guentzel (ankle) could miss as few as five games to begin the 2023-24 season.

Impact Nothing is set in stone but this is a positive update on Guentzel's condition. His initial diagnosis had him in danger of missing at least the first few weeks of the season. The 28-year-old winger underwent ankle surgery and will continue to be evaluated throughout training camp, which should provide a more clear timetable.

Undergoes ankle surgery Guentzel underwent right ankle surgery on Wednesday.

Impact This is a major blow to the Penguins as Guentzel injured his ankle during the regular season and it worsened during offseason training, making surgery the best option for the winger. Guentzel will miss at least the opening month of the season as he will be re-evaluated in 12 weeks. Guentzel had 36 goals and 73 points in 2022-23. Reilly Smith could move into his spot on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust to start the season.

Dealing with minor injury Guentzel will not join Team Canada for the 2023 IIHF World Championship for precautionary reasons due to an undisclosed injury, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Guentzel's injury is not expected to impact his offseason training or his availability for the start of the 2023-24 campaign. The 28-year-old winger fell four goals short of hitting the 40 mark in back-to-back seasons but still managed to rack up 73 points on the year, including 23 points with the man advantage. Even with a looming roster shake-up under new management, there is little reason to expect Guetnzel to line up anywhere else than on Sidney Crosby's wing next year, which will have him positioned well to push for that 40-goal threshold.
