Sabres' Jeff Skinner: Sets table for two goals

Skinner registered two assists in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

Skinner experienced a tumultuous season in 2020-21, with his point total comprised of seven goals and seven assists through 53 games. However, here we are 20 contests deep and he's just two goals away from reaching that seven-goal mark in his fourth year with the Sabres. The key difference in Skinner's turnaround seems to be renewed confidence and a supplemental increase in playing time; he's averaging 16:50 of ice time after slumping to a career-worst 14:31 level last year.
