Penguins' Jake Guentzel: Ruled out Wednesday

Guentzel (concussion) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup with Chicago.

Analysis:

Guentzel will miss his fourth straight game following an illegal hit from Buffalo's Rasmus Ristolainen. The 22-year-old Guentzel was averaging a point per game in his 13 outings prior to getting hurt -- the benefit of playing alongside Sidney Crosby. Once the winger is cleared to play, it's uncertain whether he will return to the Pens' top line with Conor Sheary and Bryan Rust both healthy now.
