For what’s been an injury-filled season to important players for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jake Guentzel was for a while the ironman. Guentzel hadn’t missed any time to injury since his rookie season in 2016-17, playing full seasons in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and so far this year. That however has come to an end in a big way, Guentzel is out for 4-6 months after shoulder surgery that was necessitated from a collision into the boards last night.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel underwent successful shoulder surgery, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.
