Guttman averaged over a point a game for Dubuque of the USHL in 2016-17, notching 27 goals and 27 assists in 53 regular season games. In the playoffs, Guttman chipped in a goal and three assists in six games for the Fighting Saints. Guttman has been named Dubuque's captain for the upcoming season. The 5-foot-9, 163-pound Guttman is committed to St. Cloud State University for 2018-19.
