• Sharks' Jeff Skinner: Returning against Stars

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Skinner (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Friday's clash with Dallas, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. Skinner will be in action for the first time since Nov. 13 versus Calgary, a stretch of 10 games on injured reserve due to his lower-body problem. The veteran winger has tallied just one goal in his last 13 outings and may be hard-pressed to reach the 20-goal threshold for the second straight year.

• Sharks' Jeff Skinner: Expected to miss two weeks

  11/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Skinner is slated to miss at least two weeks due to his lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Monday. Skinner was classified as week-to-week, so it could still be longer before he is given the all-clear. Prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old winger was stuck in a five-game goal drought that will likely have to wait until December for the Toronto native to break.

  Skinner (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. The Sharks recalled Zack Ostapchuk from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Skinner will miss at least the next three games, starting with Saturday's matchup against Seattle, after getting injured in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Calgary. He has collected four goals, seven points and 29 shots on net through 17 appearances this campaign.

• Sharks' Jeff Skinner: Hurt early Thursday

  11/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Skinner (lower body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Flames, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Skinner needed help off the ice after taking a hard fall early in the first period. He was unable to put weight on his right leg as he exited, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. If Skinner misses time, which appears likely based on the nature of the injury, the Sharks would need to make a roster move for a forward, or they could opt to dress seven defensemen.

• Sharks' Jeff Skinner: Tallies Sunday

  11/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Skinner scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings. Skinner has two points over four games since he was a healthy scratch versus the Wild on Oct. 26. The 33-year-old winger has mostly filled a bottom-six role since then, though he was listed on the second line and saw 14:44 of ice time Sunday, which was a game that saw the Sharks dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Skinner is at four goals, six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 12 outings this season. He doesn't offer much category coverage, and his offense is unlikely to be strong enough to make up for that.
