CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Jake Guentzel is fearless, so perhaps it isn't a surprise that he's blocked more shots this season than any Penguins forward except Brock McGinn.
He's done it 20 times in 24 games, and it's safe to assume that a few of those stung a little.
Or maybe a lot.
None likely hurt more, however, than the puck he stopped with his right hand during the first period of a 6-1 victory in Seattle Dec. 6.
Guentzel acknowledged after practice Tuesday that that puck broke one of his knuckles -- "It got me in the wrong spot," he said.
