The 30-year-old winger has been spectacular for them this campaign, as he has been one of the club's top offensive contributors. In 74 games this season with the Lightning [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqLQgKIidDQklTRndnTWFoTUtFWFJvWldodlkydGxlVzVsZDNNdVkyOXRLQUFQAQ/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwruDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA:en], Guentzel has an impressive 38 goals, 36 assists, 74 points, and a plus-20 rating. With numbers like these, he has been consistently impactful for the Lightning. He is red-hot right now, too, as he has five goals and 10 points in his last seven contests alone. With how well Guentzel is scoring, he has a very good shot of hitting 40 goals for the third time in his career before the season is over. He also has a decent amount of time to do so, as the Lightning still have seven games remaining. It is always a great accomplishment when a player scores 40 goals in a season, so it would be massive if Guentzel can successfully do it for the third time in his nine-year career. When looking at how well he has been playing, it is hard to bet against him if he stays healthy. In 594 career NHL games split between the Pittsburgh Penguins, Carolina Hurricanes, and Tampa Bay Lightning, Guentzel has 265 goals, 300 assists, 565 points, and a plus-89 rating. The Bolts star has had a great career, and adding another 40-goal season to his resume would only make it even better.
