Jake Guentzel Eyeing Rookie Playoff Goals Record in Game 4

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel has tallied 13 goals thus far in the Stanley Cup playoffs, sitting one behind Minnesota's Dino Ciccarelli, who scored 14 in the 1981 postseason, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Guentzel has taken his game to another level in the Stanley Cup Final, recording four goals over the first three contests of the series. Only Evgeni Malkin (26) and Sidney Crosby (23) own more points this postseason, but nobody has scored more goals.

Pittsburgh took the first two games of the series pretty easily with a 5-3 win in Game 1 and a 4-1 win in Game 2 but had the tables turned on them with a 5-1 loss in Game 3 as the series shifted to Nashville.
