Jeff Skinner Records Seventh Career Hat Trick

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner had one of his biggest performances of the season on Monday versus Seattle, netting his seventh career hat trick in a 6-2 win. He scored an even-strength goal in each period, completing the three-goal game with two minutes left to play. With the outing, Skinner matched the goals tally of his previous 12 appearances. He's massively struggled during the second half of the season and sits on only 45 points (24 goals, 21 assists) through 61 games. However, Monday's hat trick -- his third with the Sabres -- should be a morale-booster for Skinner, and a few more productive outings should definitely put him back in the fold for a top-six position.

Jeff Skinner Returns To Action Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will get back to work on Tuesday versus Anaheim. Skinner has missed the past five games while battling an upper-body problem. He's set to rejoin the first line and should also skate on the first power-play unit. The 31-year-old is one of Buffalo's most dangerous offensive weapons, totaling 17 goals and 16 assists in 38 appearances this season.

Jeff Skinner Week-To-Week With Upper-Body Injury

Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner is out week to week with an upper-body injury. Skinner suffered the injury during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He skated 15:42 in the contest and logged a goal and an assist on three shots before his injury. It's been a nice season for the veteran who has tallied 17 goals and 33 points on the season, second-most on the Sabres behind center Casey Mittelstadt. It's the second time this season that Skinner has missed time with an upper-body ailment as he missed three games in mid-December following a hard hit by Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon. Fantasy owners should simply set Skinner on the IR instead of cutting ties altogether.

Jeff Skinner Amasses Four Points Versus Montreal

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner was on fire against the Canadiens on Thursday, posting one goal and three assists in a 6-1 victory. Following a goalless opening period, the Sabres struck twice on the power play in quick succession, with Skinner playing a part in both goals. He added a couple of even-strength assists in the third period. The 31-year-old is leading the way in goals for the Sabres, having lit the lamp 16 times, and Skinner boasts 31 points in total with 38 games played. He's started to build a scoring streak with his most recent outings, getting at least one point in three consecutive games.

Jeff Skinner, Jordan Greenway On Track To Return For Sabres Thursday

Buffalo Sabres wingers Jeff Skinner (upper body) and Jordan Greenway (upper body) are poised to return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Toronto. Both players have been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the clash. Greenway has been absent for nine games, while Skinner has missed the last three. The latter is definitely the bigger piece for Buffalo and is set to rejoin the top line and the first power-play unit on Thursday. However, Greenway will also add some two-way quality to the team's third line. Tyson Jost and Victor Olofsson are set to come out of the lineup on Thursday to make room for Skinner and Greenway.

Jeff Skinner Could Return Thursday

Buffalo 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.

Jeff Skinner Sustains An Upper-Body Injury

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner couldn't complete Wednesday's meeting with Colorado due to an upper-body injury. He was hurt on a hit by Nathan MacKinnon and exited after logging only 7:57 of ice time. The Sabres have failed to match their offensive production from last year and might now have to be without one of their top scorers. Skinner is tied for the team lead with 12 goals and has amassed 22 points in total across 30 games.

Jeff Skinner Scores On Power Play Monday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner tallied the team's lone goal in Monday's 3-1 home defeat against Montreal, scoring on the power play in the first period. He tied the game with his third goal of the campaign, but the Sabres' offense was unusually quiet, and the visitors escaped further damage. Following a couple of pointless efforts, Skinner has started to heat up, notching all of his four points this season in the last four games. Facing the Canadiens is probably one of his favorite things in the world, as Skinner has potted 24 goals in 39 career games against Montreal, which is by far his best tally against any opposition.

Jeff Skinner Leads Buffalo To Victory Friday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner produced a game-high three points in Friday's 5-2 win over Columbus. He notched his 35th goal of the season and handed out two assists. Skinner had a huge finish to the season with back-to-back three-point efforts. 2022-23 turned out to be a career year for him, as the 30-year-old posted 82 points in 79 outings. The Sabres missed the playoffs again but looked much better compared to the previous campaign, and they will be looking to take another step forward in 2023-24. Skinner should play a key role again for the team next season.

Jeff Skinner Scores Game-Winning Goal In Overtime

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Rangers. Skinner's 32nd goal of the season came less than two minutes into the extra frame, as the veteran forward drove to the net and got the puck past Rangers goaltender Jaroslav Halak. Skinner is having a career-best season with 71 points through 71 games to rank second on the team in scoring and he remains a quality forward option on a young team with potential to end their playoff drought next season.

Jeff Skinner Extends Point Streak With Two Goals

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner provided two goals in Friday's 3-1 win over Florida to extend his point streak to five games. He has produced three multi-point performances during the streak. The veteran forward has heated up in a hurry after slumping for a bit at the start of the month. Sitting on 24 goals and 34 assists, Skinner is now just five points short of matching his last season's scoring total and his recent form suggests that he will blow past the 63-point mark very soon.

Jeff Skinner Returns With Three Points

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner produced a great performance in his return from suspension, recording two goals and an assist in a 5-2 win over Arizona. He scored the team's first two goals and bagged an assist when Kyle Okposo, who returned from a lower-body injury, scored with the net empty late in the game. The suspension forced Skinner to miss three games during a hot stretch, but it appears that it didn't have any effect on his form. Skinner has played some superb stuff this month, racking up 12 points in five December appearances. Dating back to November, Skinner has collected points in each of his last seven outings, and he's now become the 12th player this season to post at least 15 goals and 20 assists.

Jeff Skinner Suspended For Three Games

Buffalo Sabes winger Jeff Skinner won't be available for Saturday's meeting with the Penguins and has to sit out three games in total because of a suspension. He's getting punished for cross-checking Pittsburgh's Jake Guentzel in Friday's clash. It's the second suspension of Skinner's career and his first since 2012. In Skinner, the Sabres lose a red-hot player who has exploded for nine points in four December appearances. The 30-year-old has had his fair share of struggles in Buffalo, but he's on track for a career year in 2022-23, having recorded 32 points in 27 games so far. Skinner will be eligible to return to action next Saturday against Arizona.

Jeff Skinner Grabs Two Goals Against Washington

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner potted two goals in Friday's 4-3 shootout defeat to Washington. He tied the game twice and reached 26 goals for the campaign. This was Skinner's fifth multi-goal game of the season and only four players have managed more. The 29-year-old has left a lot of fantasy managers disappointed over the past two seasons, but he's been back in form in 2021-22 with 45 points in 63 games and has a decent chance to post his fourth 60-point year. Skinner has built himself a three-game point streak ahead of Sunday's clash with the Rangers.

Jeff Skinner Scores Four Goals

Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner scored four goals and added one assist in Sunday's 5-3 victory against the Canadiens. Skinner outscored the opposing team on his own in the contest, while recording his first career five-point game in the NHL. Skinner is worth rostering across standard fantasy formats, as the forward is having a solid bounce back season after struggling mightily over the past two years. The 29-year-old leads the Sabres in goals scored (20) and points (34) through 45 games, and he will look to keep up the offensive production throughout the second half of the season.

Jeff Skinner Nets Two Goals Against Seattle

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner had two goals with four shots in Monday's 7-4 loss to Seattle. He bagged his first power-play goal of the season in the second period and then picked up an even-strength marker in the third. Skinner has now scored in back-to-back games, and he sits on eight goals and 15 points for the campaign in 22 outings. It's been a pretty good season for the 29-year-old, who's looked lost on the ice in the past couple of campaigns. He's already surpassed his goals and points tally from last season and moves at a 56-point pace.

Jeff Skinner To Move On From Buffalo

Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner agreed to waive his no-movement clause to make himself available for the expansion draft, according to his agent Don Meehan. Skinner still has six years at $6 million per year on his contract with Buffalo. With Skinner looking to move on from the Sabres, the team can now protect eight forwards from Seattle. The 29-year-old's tenure went well for one year in Buffalo, as he produced 63 points in 82 regular season games in the 2018-19 season. However, since that season, he has collected just 37 points in 112 contests.

Jeff Skinner Has Two Points In Sunday's Win

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner recorded a two-point performance in Sunday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia, tying it up at three late on and picking up an assist on Sam Reinhart's 14th marker of the season. Skinner now has five goals for the year with two of them coming in the last three games. He's managed only eight points during a horrible season. It's been a nightmare for Skinner so far, but playing with Reinhart and Victor Olofsson, who tallied an assist on Sunday, gives Skinner a good opportunity to up his production. The 28-year-old winger has a four-game week to look forward to.

Jeff Skinner Finally Gets First Goal Of The Season

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner finally opened his goals account for the season in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders, producing the team's first goal of the game. Colin Miller joined him on the scoresheet. Skinner had a wonderful debut year in Buffalo during the 2018-19 season with 40 goals, but he went through a tough time last campaign, and 2020-21 has been a complete nightmare for him. The 28-year-old winger was on just one point through 19 games ahead of Sunday's action with a minus-five rating and 39 shots. Skinner hasn't meshed well with any of his teammates and has been a healthy scratch at times, so he hasn't had any value in fantasy hockey this season and it doesn't look like the situation will change if he stays in Buffalo.

Jeff Skinner Will Be Scratched For Monday's Matchup

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner will be a healthy scratch for Monday's contest versus the Islanders. The former 40-goal scorer is off to a horrific start to the season, boasting only one point - an assist - across 14 outings. He's been consistently dropping down in the lineup and now completely drops out of it. Rookie Dylan Cozens, who has two goals and three points in 10 games, finds himself in the top-six and is also set to skate on the second power-play unit on Monday. Skinner has a chance to return on Tuesday against New Jersey.
