Jake Guentzel Considered Week-To-Week
3 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Jake Guentzel (upper body) is set to miss some time, with the team considering him week-to-week. Guentzel continued his hot stretch with a three-point effort in Monday's 6-1 win over Seattle, but he also got hurt during the first period. He was able to come back and finish the game but now has to sit on the sidelines for a while. Guentzel had managed to put together a 13-game point streak before getting hurt, and he had started the month with six goals in three games. Pittsburgh's top line is already missing Bryan Rust (lower body), so Sidney Crosby has to get used to some new faces. Evan Rodrigues has been riding on the line lately, and based on Wednesday's practice, Kasperi Kapanen will now move there as well to replace Guentzel.
