Lightning Hit Home Run Signing New Superstar
This Tampa Bay Lightning signing has already been excellent for the club.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have had a strong start to the season, as their 4-2-0 record effectively demonstrates. A big reason for their early-season success has been the strong play of their top players. Newcomer Jake Guentzel is undoubtedly among them.
Guentzel, 30, has found immediate success with his new team, as he has two goals, seven points, and a plus-4 rating in his first six games as a Bolt. In addition, he is not showing any signs of slowing down, as he had a goal and an assist in the Lightning's latest matchup against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 22.
Guentzel has provided the kind of offense the Lightning hoped he would. He has also already formed outstanding chemistry with Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, which is certainly encouraging for the Lightning.
