Jeff Skinner Could Return Thursday
11 months agoBuffalo Sabres left winger Jeff Skinner (upper body) could be back in the lineup Thursday when the club plays host to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Skinner has missed the last three games after sustaining an upper-body injury on a hit by Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon on Dec. 13. "I feel good," Skinner said on Wednesday. "I thought it was a good practice." It's been a solid season for the veteran, who has notched 12 goals and 22 points across 30 games with a hefty 107 shots on goal in that time. He is coming off a career year that saw him tally 35 goals and a career-high 82 points across 79 games while getting 242 pucks on goal. He practiced on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch on Wednesday.
