Jake Guentzel Likely To Make Hurricanes Debut Tuesday
10 months agoNewly acquired forward Jake Guentzel is likely to make his Carolina Hurricanes debut Tuesday versus the New York Rangers. The 29-year-old was acquired in a trade-deadline deal from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for winger Michael Bunting, prospects Vasily Ponomarev and Ville Koivunen, the rights to forward Cruz Lucius, a conditional first-round pick in the 2024 draft, and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline. "I think there's a real good possibility," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said after Tuesday's morning skate. "He'll take warmup and see where we go, but all indications are I think he will [play]." The left winger has tallied 22 goals and 52 points across 50 games this season.
