Former Penguins Star Is Completely Dominating Right Now

The Tampa Bay Lightning are at the top of the Atlantic Division standings with a 13-4-2 record and 28 points.

A former Pittsburgh Penguins forward is a notable reason for the Lightning's strong start to the season. This is because former Penguin Jake Guentzel is having an excellent start to the campaign.

In 19 games this season with the Lightning, Guentzel has recorded 11 goals, 13 assists, and 24 points. With numbers like these, the former Penguins forward is playing very well for the Lightning right now.

Yet, Guentzel is only dominating as the season rolls on. In his last five games, the former Penguins forward has recorded three goals, seven assists, and 10 points. This includes him having six points in his last two games alone. With this, the former Penguins star is producing some very good offense right now. 

Seeing Guentzel play this well for the Lightning is not surprising. He was a very impactful player during his time with the Penguins and is doing the same for the Bolts. 

In 503 games over eight seasons with the Penguins from 2016-17 to 2023-24, Guentzel posted 219 goals, 247 assists, and 466 points.
