  Skinner had an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche. Skinner was not good in November, racking up just three points over 13 contests. He's now at eight points, 65 shots on net, a minus-9 rating and 18 hits through 24 appearances, most often playing in a third-line role. Skinner's 6.2 shooting percentage suggests there's some bad luck at play, but he's often had full seasons where his luck doesn't correct course.

• Oilers' Jeff Skinner: Scores in garbage time

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Skinner scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. Skinner snapped his eight-game slump with a tally in the final minute of the contest. It did nothing to change the result, but it could help ignite the 32-year-old winger's offense if he can build off of it. Skinner is at a meager four goals and three assists through 21 contests, but his 57 shots on net and corresponding 7.0 shooting percentage suggest he's been a victim of bad luck to some extent. Still, his overall game has been lacking, and he'll have a tough time generating offense if he slips back onto the fourth line for any extended length of time.
