Jeff Skinner Ends Pointless Drought On Thursday
5 years agoBuffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner posted a goal and added an assist in his team's eventual 5-4 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. With the pair of points, Skinner ended a personal four game pointless skid to give him a much more desirable four points over his past eight games. A 40-goal scorer last year, it was only a matter of time until the 27-year-old started producing once again - especially given his consistent barrage of shots on net (68 shots through 18 games). With 12 points (eight goals, four assists) on the campaign, Buffalo likely needs more from their top left-winger and his fantasy owners alike are hoping Skinner's productive night on Thursday is a sign of scoring to come. He'll take on the Senators up next on Saturday.
