Jake Guentzel Likely To Make Hurricanes Debut Tuesday
8 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.
