Checking back on the Penguins’ top five scorers

Last summer we tried to predict the Penguins’ top five leading scorers, so on a Sunday let’s check back in to see how it went.

The prediction:

1. Crosby

2. Guentzel

3. Rust

4. Letang

5. Zucker

And the results:

This season saw Jake Guentzel co-lead the Penguins in scoring, playing seven more games than Sidney Crosby but also scoring nine more goals. Guentzel’s season marks the first time since 2003-04 where a name other than Crosby or Evgeni Malkin led Pittsburgh in scoring, though Crosby can still claim a partial hold on this season.
