Jake Guentzel made some history yesterday with his 4 goal game. While a 4-goal playoff game did happen just last year (Jean-Gabriel Pageau did it against the Rangers), it’s only happened four times in the last 20 years of the NHL playoffs per hockey-reference.
It’s also the first 4+ goal performance by a Pens player in over five years, the last time being Chris Kunitz vs. the Capitals back in February 2013. It’s the first Penguin playoff 4+ goal performance since Big Kevin Stevens did it in 1992 vs.
