Jake Guentzel sees silver in the Tampa Bay Lightning's future.
Jake Guentzel experienced the joys of championship glory very early in his career, winning the Stanley Cup as a rookie in 2017 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. That was seven years ago now, and Guentzel, now with the Tampa Bay Lightning, is hungry for another championship.
Guentzel joins a Tampa Bay top six that features Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli, all of whom are under contract for at least three more seasons. The Lightning are still feeling the loss of longtime captain Steven Stamkos, who signed with the Nashville Predators on July 1, but there's still a ton of talent on the roster.
Last season, Guentzel scored 77 points in 67 games with the Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, then scored nine points in 11 playoff games with Carolina. He has 491 points in 520 career games and is solid enough defensively, especially for a bona fide top-line forward.
