It's fair to assume life in the NHL is much easier if you have Sidney Crosby running the on-ice show.

Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Jake Guentzel certainly seems to be benefiting from Crosby's presence on the regular. The young winger did so again Friday night, making an immediate impact in his first game back from injury by finishing off a few expertly placed dishes from Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel early in the second period.

The tally was Guentzel's 12th of the season, while the assist took Crosby's career total to 641, moving him past Jaromir Jagr on the Penguins' all-time helpers list.
