Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel (https://www.nhl.com/player/jake-guentzel-8477404) has had quite the rookie season - in fact, it's been historic.
In his NHL debut, on Nov. 21, 2016, Guentzel scored two goals against the New York Rangers, including a goal on his first shot/shift, and he matched that performance on Wednesday night as the Pens took down the Nashville Predators, 4-1, in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final to take a 2-0 series lead.
Guentzel tallied two goals in the Game, bringing his postseason leading total to 12 - the 2nd-most ever by a rookie in NHL history behind only Dino Ciccareilli's 14. His 19 postseason points is an NHL record for most playoff points by an American-born rookie, passing former Pens' Hall of Famer Joe Mullen.
The 22-year-old opened the scoring for the Pens 16:36 into the first period. Chris Kunitz (https://www.nhl.com/player/chris-kunitz-8470543) sent the puck down the right boards to Conor Sheary (https://www.nhl.com/player/conor-sheary-8477839) in the corner, who threw it toward the net. Guentzel managed to backhand the puck between the post and left pad of Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne to tie the game at 1-1.......
