Top-Line Winger Jake Guentzel underwent ankle surgery on August 2nd in Minnesota that will sideline him for at least 12 weeks. The Penguins in a released statement say “it was decided that surgery would be the best way to ensure Jake would be at his best in 2023-2024.” A best-case scenario of a 12-week recovery period would keep Guentzel sidelined to around November 1st.
