Penguins forward Jake Guentzel (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Nashville Predators, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
There hasn't been any word of an injury for Guentzel, so it's possible his game-time decision could be the result of being a healthy scratch since Patric Hornqvist (upper body) is set to return to the lineup. Hornqvist hasn't played since Game 1 of the conference finals.
Guentzel was a hero for the Penguins during the first two rounds, scoring nine goals - including three game-winners - and totaling 14 points in 12 games. However, he was virtually invisible in the conference finals, picking up just two assists in seven games against the Senators.
