As Mike Sullivan announced the Pittsburgh Penguins will have to deal without their forward Conor Sheary for 4 to 6 weeks, the team will certainly need to fill up the empty seat left by Sheary.

Even if he is a natural center, could Jake Guentzel takes more responsibilities? Guentzel had an impressive record with AHL Wilkes-Barre as he has has 21 goals in 33 games.

Met by Elliotte Friedman, the Ottawa Senators AHL head coach Kleinendorst had some interesting words about Guentzel : "When he goes (to the NHL), he plays with Evgeni Malkin . That’s all you need to know."

Is it time for the Pens to give him more responsibilities?
