Guentzel makes Hurricanes debut vs. Rangers

Marquee trade deadline acquisition Jake Guentzel made his Carolina Hurricanes debut Tuesday against the New York Rangers.

He skated on a line with Martin Necas and fellow deadline addition Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Guentzel had been sidelined with an upper-body injury since Feb. 14.

Carolina acquired Guentzel from the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 7 for forwards Michael Bunting, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, and Ville Koivunen, as well as conditional second and fifth-round picks.

The 29-year-old, who has 22 goals and 52 points in 50 contests this season, has played all of his 503 career games with the Penguins.
