Tampa Bay Lightning face uncertainty over Jake Guentzel's injury status as they begin a three-game California road trip, hoping for strong performance against the Sharks.
After trading 16-year captain Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay aims to find success with Jake Guentzel, who has notably improved since a slow start this season.
Coach Jon Cooper expressed cautious optimism about Guentzel's recovery: 'There's been improvements since a couple games ago, so hopefully that continues and see what happens.'
Guentzel, who has performed well with 20 goals and 17 assists this season, skated in a non-contact jersey, suggesting a potential return to the lineup soon.
