Jeff Skinner Scores 30th Goal In Return To Carolina
6 years agoBuffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner deposited his 30th goal of the season in a 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. The tally was likely special for the 26-year-old who was skating in his first game in Carolina since being traded (for three prospects and a draft pick) over the summer. Despite his team taking the loss, Skinner has flourished this season in his new organization, posting 43 points (30 goals, 13 assists) in 44 games while cementing himself on the team's top line alongside Jack Eichel. The Ontario native looks primed to best his previous career-high in goals (37 in 2016-2017) and has become perhaps the greatest fantasy draft bargain of the current campaign. He's a must-start option and will look to keep finding the back of the net in his next game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
