By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 4, 2026

Dylan Guenther recorded one goal and two assists, firing five shots in 16:51 of ice time as Utah defeated Columbus 4-1 on Saturday, October 3. His goal came on the power play, and he added a hit while finishing even in the lopsided win.

The three-point outing reflects the form already built into Guenther's recent averages of 0.96 points per game. His underlying play grades 99 out of 100 among forwards for shots, scoring chances and ice time, a mark of how sustainable his production is. He plays 3:01 per game on the first power-play unit, second among all Utah skaters.

Guenther averages 0.48 goals and 0.48 assists per game in his recent sample of 190 games, with 3.0 shots and 0.38 power-play points per contest. The five shots on Saturday match his volume profile, while the goal and two assists represent a spike above his typical output. He skates 17:18 a night at even strength and takes a prominent role on the man advantage.

Utah has four games left this week, with contests on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Guenther's elite process score suggests his scoring rate is built on a solid foundation rather than luck. His 99th-percentile underlying metrics mean the production is repeatable, making him a reliable option across all four of those starts.

What to do

• Keep Guenther active in all formats through Utah's four-game week.

• Roster him with confidence given his 99th-percentile underlying metrics and first-unit power-play role.

• Expect 3.0 shots per game and scoring at close to a point-per-game pace over the four remaining contests.
