Guenther played 33 games with Arizona last season, tallying six goals and 15 points before he was reassigned to the WHL. The 20-year-old winger will start the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Tucson, though he should eventually work his way into the Coyotes' lineup, as Guenther was drafted ninth overall in 2021.

Rotowire
Guenther was assigned to WHL Seattle on Sunday.
Guenther has generated six goals, 15 points and 53 shots on net in 33 games with the Coyotes this season. Arizona wants him to continue to develop in the junior ranks and lead the Thunderbirds to a Memorial Cup. Guenther should be a regular in the lineup at the NHL level next year.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Opens scoring Sunday
Rotowire
Guenther scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Guenther has produced three goals and an assist over his last seven games, and he's also gone plus-2 in that span. The 19-year-old is holding his own in a middle-six role as a rookie. With six goals, nine assists, 49 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 30 appearances, he could be a solid addition in deeper fantasy formats, especially those that don't count plus-minus.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Nets equalizer Tuesday
Rotowire
Guenther scored a goal on seven shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Guenther's goal at 7:53 of the third period ultimately forced overtime. It came just 1:10 after Travis Boyd cut the deficit to a goal. Guenther has two of his five tallies this season in the last four games. The 19-year-old winger is up to 14 points, 43 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-6 rating through 27 contests as a rookie. He should continue to see middle-six minutes, and his power-play role on the second unit could draw some interest from fantasy managers in deep redraft formats.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Pair of points in loss
Rotowire
Guenther scored a power-play goal on five shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Senators.
This was Guenther's third game back with the Coyotes after he clinched Team Canada's gold medal at the World Junior Championship. The 19-year-old winger has been immediately reinserted into a middle-six role with power-play time. For the season, he's produced four goals, 13 points (six on the power play), 34 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-8 rating through 24 contests. His junior rights were traded in the WHL, so if the Coyotes opt to reassign him later, he'd suit up for the Seattle Thunderbirds instead of the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Back with Arizona
Rotowire
Guenther is back with the Coyotes after scoring the Golden Goal at the World Junior Championship on Thursday, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.
Guenther scored the overtime winner to give Canada the Gold Medal at the WJC. The ninth pick in the 2021 Draft, Guenther has three goals and 11 points in 21 games with the Coyotes this season. He could still be returned to junior hockey at any time, but for now he will play top-nine minutes with Arizona.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Guenther produced two assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Guenther helped out on goals by Matias Maccelli and Nick Bjugstad, separated by just 2:33 during the second period. It's the second time in three games Guenther has posted a pair of helpers, though each instance has come after a healthy scratch. The 19-year-old winger was in the lineup Thursday because Lawson Crouse (illness) was not available. Guenther has looked good so far with three goals, eight helpers, 25 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-5 rating in 18 appearances.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Delivers two assists
Rotowire
Guenther notched a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Guenther responded to a healthy scratch Monday versus the Predators in fine fashion. He helped out on tallies by Lawson Crouse and Nick Bjugstad in the third period. Guenther will have some roller-coaster moments in adjusting to the NHL as a 19-year-old, but he's been fairly positive so far. The winger has three goals, six assists, 22 shots on net and a minus-7 rating in 16 outings, with five of his nine points coming on the power play.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Tallies on power play in loss
Rotowire
Guenther scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.
Guenther snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. All three of his goals this season, as well as two of his four assists, have come with the man advantage. The 19-year-old winger looks set to stay with the Coyotes all season. Despite the power-play production, he's seen just 12:07 of ice time per game while adding 17 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 13 contests.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Remaining with Coyotes
Rotowire
Guenther will play his 10th game with the Coyotes on Saturday, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Guenther will burn a year off his entry-level contract by playing in his 10th game Saturday, but GM Bill Armstrong said the 19-year-old rookie has earned his spot in the lineup, so Guenther will likely remain with the big club for the remainder of the season. He has two goals and six points in nine games this campaign.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Offers power-play helper
Rotowire
Guenther provided a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Guenther helped out on a Lawson Crouse goal in the second period. In eight games this season, Guenther has two goals and four assists, with four of his points coming on the power play. The winger has added 12 shots on net and a minus-7 rating, but those solid scoring numbers could make it tough for the Coyotes to send him back to junior hockey. If he plays in two more games, his entry-level contract will officially activate.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Helps out on both goals in loss
Rotowire
Guenther registered a pair of assists and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
Guenther set up a Lawson Crouse power-play goal and also helped out on Nick Bjugstad's tally, both coming in the second period. This was the first multi-point effort of Guenther's young career. The 19-year-old winger hasn't looked out of place in the NHL, racking up two goals, three assists, 10 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through seven contests. He could still improve on his shot volume, but his skill on offense is already shining through.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Scores on power play in win
Rotowire
Guenther scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Guenther's tally in the second period ended up being the game-winner after the Blue Jackets showed some spark in the final stanza. Through five contests, the 19-year-old winger has two power-play tallies, one assist, nine shots on net and a minus-5 rating. Guenther still has four more games to make his case to stay in the NHL this year rather than return to junior, though it's possible the rebuilding Coyotes might want to avoid burning the first year of his entry-level deal in what's likely another year near the bottom of the standings.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Nets first goal at top level
Rotowire
Guenther dialed up a power-play goal -- the first tally of his NHL career -- in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.
The rebuilding Coyotes have shuffled Guenther around the lineup, and the 19-year-old managed to convert one of two shots in the latest contest. Known to be fleet-footed with a strong skating stride, Guenther is worth keeping an eye on in case he remains in the NHL. So far, he's added a goal and an assist through four games.

Coyotes' Dylan Guenther: Earns helper in debut
Rotowire
Guenther recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
Guenther was scratched for the season opener, but he was in the lineup for the second contest. The 19-year-old helped out on a Josh Brown tally in the third period. The Coyotes are likely to take their time and see if Guenther can stick at the NHL level or if he'd be better suited with one more year of junior hockey. He saw second-line usage Saturday and should be given every chance to succeed in what should be at least a nine-game trial run.
