Guentzel (undisclosed) is practicing on the top line Friday, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Guentzel left practice early Monday and sat out Tuesday's skate, but he will be in the lineup Friday for Opening Night in Carolina. Guentzel will start on the top line, alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, as well as play on the top power play. The 30-year-old had many productive seasons on a line with Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, but Guentzel could surpass his career high in goals (40) and points (84) while playing on the Lightning's top unit.
