Guentzel (upper body) was spotted with a normal jersey in Thursday's morning skate, suggesting his return is close, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff, Guentzel (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey at practice Saturday.
The smallish but speedy winger plays a lot bigger than his size, especially when it comes to offense. Knows how to find holes in the defense and is a talented finisher as well as a solid playmaker. Injuries are an occasional problem, though he is good at avoiding big hits by opposing checkers because of his speed and hockey IQ.
Long Range Potential: Outstanding finisher and all-around winger.
