Guerin assist shy of Howe hat trick: Bill Guerin ended Pittsburgh's eight-game streak without a power-play goal by scoring in the first period, Jordan Staal scored short-handed and the Penguins wrapped up Anaheim's winless four-game road trip by beating the Ducks 5-2 on Monday night. Guerin, who turned 39 last week, missed by an assist of having the so-called Gordie Howe hat trick -- a goal, an assist and a fight. He fought in the third period with Ryan Getzlaf, who is 14 years younger, trading several punches before Guerin put the Ducks' alternate captain on his back to earn one of the night's loudest ovations from the sellout crowd of 17,052.

Fantasy Analysis
Guerin's goal, his fifth of the season, came 5:13 into the first period and halted a streak of 30 consecutive unsuccessful Penguins power plays that began Oct. 30 in Columbus. With Pittsburgh ahead 1-0 after Matt Cooke scored on a backhander from a slot 91 seconds into the game, Guerin beat Jean-Sebastien Giguere on a one-timer from the top of the right circle, with Sidney Crosby assisting. Guerin has scored in two straight games and has 12 points in 21 games. He has been great since landing in Pittsburgh at the trade deadline last season. However, Guerin still remains a low-end Fantasy forward since he is not an elite scorer. (Updated 11/17/2009).
