Injured Penguins F Guentzel on schedule for possible return
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins All-Star forward Jake Guentzel’s recovery from shoulder surgery is on schedule, opening the door for him to play at some point this season should the NHL return to play. General manager Jim Rutherford says Guentzel has not endured any setbacks since undergoing surgery on Dec. 31. Guentzel injured the shoulder when he awkwardly slammed into the end boards shortly after scoring his 20th goal of the season against Ottawa on Dec. 30. The 25-year-old had been selected to the All-Star team for the first time just hours before the injury.
