Buffalo Sabres Player Season Report Card: Jeff Skinner

The Buffalo Sabres season has come and gone, and in a year that almost nobody expected anything remotely exciting, fans found themselves with plenty to cheer for. The season featured many surprises — from veteran resurgences, to young gun breakouts, to rookies having some quietly solid years. One player in particular that was under a microscope from day one this year was Jeff Skinner. After two previous seasons that saw him in the bottom six and putting up career-low offensive numbers, many people were curious to see if Skinner had anything left to give. Turns out, he had plenty.

Sabres' Jeff Skinner: Dishes two helpers in win

Skinner had two assists and five shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Flyers. Skinner set up a pair of Tage Thompson goals, the second of which was an empty-netter.

Sabres' Jeff Skinner: Reaches 30 goals

Skinner scored his 30th goal of the season in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers. His first-period tally gave the Sabres a 3-1 lead, but the team's offense went quiet the rest of the way. Skinner has reached the 30-goal plateau for the fifth time in his career and the first time since he potted a career-high 40 in 2018-19. Matching that mark is probably unattainable, but given the heater he's on -- seven goals and 13 points in the last 11 games -- Skinner could make it close.

Sabres' Jeff Skinner: Strong game against former team

Skinner dished out two helpers in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes. Skinner bumped his point streak up to four games, and he's compiled two goals and four assists over that stretch. He needs one more goal to reach 30 for the fifth time in his career -- Skinner's first three 30-goal campaigns came in a Hurricanes uniform, but his career high of 40 was scored as a member of the Sabres in 2018-19.

Sabres' Jeff Skinner: Two points in losing effort

Skinner scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers. The veteran sniper tried to spark a late rally, as both points came in less than two minutes during the third period with Florida ahead 4-1, but that was as close as Buffalo would get. Skinner is on another heater, racking up five goals and nine points in the last eight games, and he's now two tallies shy of his fifth career 30-goal campaign.

Sabres’ Jeff Skinner Deserves Masterton Trophy Nomination

The NHL’s Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded each year to the “player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.” Although the trophy is often given to a player who has had the best bounce-back season after an injury, it has also often been awarded to players who have overcome issues away from the ice or have simply stayed the course through their struggles.
