Penguins forward Jake Guentzel will join teammate Tristan Jarry in Las Vegas for the All-Star Game.
Guentzel was a finalist in the NHL’s “Last Men In” fan vote and finished second in voting in the Metropolitan Division but New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad, who won the vote, will not be able to attend due to personal reasons.
The 2022 All-Star Game will be a 3-on-3 tournament between the four NHL divisions on Saturday, February 5 at 3 p.m.
The 27-year-old Guentzel leads the Penguins in goals with 20, 38 points and five game-winning goals.
An All-Star skills competition will take place the day before. No word on if Guentzel will be participating in that.
Guentzel has five points in the past five games, including two goals and three assists, including a goal Monday night against the Golden Knights.
