Jake Guentzel is turning into quite the post-season performer in front of our very own eyes.

In Game 6 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, Guentzel recorded a natural hat-trick and scored four goals as the Pens closed out their first round series.

Guentzel finished the series with six goals in six games. The 23-year old now has 19 goals in 31 playoff games.

The budding star is a big reason why his team is off to the second round and they’ll need more production from him in the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
