Jake Guentzel Appears on the Ice Early with Bryan Rust for Morning Skate

On Tuesday, we saw both Jake Guentzel on the ice early with Bryan Rust getting in some drills. This morning, Jake is once again skating with one of his linemates but this time, he is not in a non-contact jersey.

Guentzel in Black Practice Jersey Could Indicate He is Ready for Gametime Action

Seeing Jake Guentzel on the ice for the Penguins morning skate could mean that the star forward is not yet ready to be on the move or traded. In fact, Guentzel is out there in a normal practice jersey, which does not indicate no contact.

It would be an interesting turn of events if all the talk about Jake Guentzel being traded was for nothing. Could he possibly be staying with the team?

More to come as we watch to see what happens with Guentzel.
