Going into the third game against the Rangers, his four goals were good for a tie for first in the NHL.

Late in the second period, Guenther set up on the left wing and sent a rocket into the back of the net. The score was the fifth of the game for Utah, his fifth of the season,a nd moved him into sole possession of the NHL’s leading goal-scorer title.

With his hot start, Guenther has emerged as a top name both in Utah and across the NHL.

He was announced as one of the stars of the week before Utah took on New Jersey in the Prudential Center on Monday.
