In a new set of rankings of the best wingers in the NHL released by the NHL Network, Jake Guentzel finds himself outside the Top 10, something Penguins fans may find hard to believe.
The NHL Network released it’s new “Top 20 Wings Right Now” list and the rankings are as follows:
- David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins
- Chris Kreider, New York Rangers
- Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado Avalanche
Coming off of a 40-goal campaign, one might except Guentzel to be rated a bit higher. I don’t think anyone expects Guentzel to be rated higher than players like Alex Ovechkin, who scored 50 goals at 36 years old, or Nikita Kucherov, who continues to be one of the best wingers in the league.
