Jake Guentzel posts three points in Lightning overtime win

Fantasy hockey: Guentzel's two goals and seven shots delivered exactly the kind of line his recent 1.07 points per game suggested he would. Fantasy impact.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 8, 2026

Jake Guentzel scored twice and added an assist in Tampa Bay's 4-3 overtime victory over Minnesota on Saturday, November 7. He fired seven shots and logged 24:34 of ice time, including one power-play goal.

The big line reflects a player already averaging 1.07 points per game in his recent sample, so this performance was priced into his value before puck drop. His underlying play grades 81 out of 100 among forwards, a measure of how sustainable his scoring should be.

Guentzel's seven shots in 24:34 drove a three-point outing that fits squarely within his recent averages of 1.07 points and 2.9 shots per game. One goal came on the power play, where he runs second among all Lightning skaters at 3:55 per night on the top unit. His 208-game sample shows 0.49 goals and 0.58 assists per game, numbers this performance mirrors.

His process score of 81 ranks well above average among forwards, meaning his shot volume, scoring chances and ice time support continued production. Tampa Bay has four games remaining this week on Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday. Guentzel remains a hold at his established level, not a stream or add after a night that reflects his already-strong baseline.

What to do

• Keep Guentzel in lineups for his four starts this week, the same spot he held before Saturday.

• Do not treat this as a breakout when his recent averages already price in 1.07 points per game.

• Trust the 81 process score and 7.0 shots per 60 minutes to keep his value steady in all formats.
