There's elite company, and then there's the company Penguins forward Jake Guentzel joined by scoring his eighth goal in his first nine playoff games Wednesday against Washington.

Maurice Richard, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzy, and Jake Guentzel. Wow.

What's perhaps most impressive is that three of Guentzel's playoff goals have been game-winners. He's delivering in the clutch.

Of course playing on a line with Sidney Crosby helps, but the speedy forward still managed to pick up a goal and an assist without Crosby in the lineup, though he did have some help from Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov.
