  • Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Grabs first goal with Hurricanes

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

    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 in the third for his first goal with Carolina. The 29-year-old Guentzel now has five points in 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.

  • Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Notches first Carolina point

    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.

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Removed from LTIR

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Game-time call

    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.

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Dealt to Carolina

    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.

    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.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Cleared for contact

    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.

    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.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Skates at practice Saturday

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

    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.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Expected to miss four weeks

    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.

    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.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Being evaluated for UBI

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

    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 currently only have 10 healthy forwards on the roster.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Powers up with assist

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

    Guentzel is on a four-game point streak, including back-to-back games of dishing a power-play assist. With 22 goals and 29 assists through 48 contests, Guentzel is just one point behind Sidney Crosby for the team lead in points. The 29-year-old Guentzel is averaging a career-high 20:57 of ice time this campaign. His 13 power-play points goes against the grain of Pittsburgh converting just 14.2 percent of its opportunities on the man advantage.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Scores Saturday

    Guetzel scored a goal on his only shot in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Guentzel extended Pittsburgh's lead to 2-0 late in the second period, beating Logan Thompson with a wrister through traffic. The 29-year-old Guentzel now has 12 points (six goals, six assists) in his last 11 contests. He's up to 20 goals and 47 points through 43 games this season.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Notches helpers in loss

    Guentzel picked up an assist in Thursday's 4-3 defeat to Vancouver.

    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.

  • Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Two points against Caps

    Guentzel scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

    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.
