• Predators' Brady Skjei: Ends slump with assist

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Skjei notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks. Skjei put an end to his nine-game point drought when he set up Roman Josi's go-ahead goal in the second period. Outside of a four-game streak in late October, it's been a rather poor first part of the season for Skjei. He has two goals, five assists, 39 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-4 rating over 19 appearances. Skjei continues to see top-four minutes, but he's looking more like a 30-point player in 2024-25 than the 13-goal, 47-point performer he was in the 2023-24 regular season for Carolina.

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skjei scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 7-3 defeat to Seattle. Skjei fired home a rebound late in the second period of Tuesday's loss, but it was the last marker of the game for Nashville. The left-shot defenseman added five shots, one block and a minus-1 rating in 22:51 of ice time. Skjei is coming off his most productive season in his 10-year NHL career -- he generated 47 points in 80 regular-season games with Carolina in 2023-24. As a result, Skjei was rewarded with a seven-year contract from Nashville in July. The former first-round pick is serving in a top-four capacity and seeing time on the power play.
