  19D ago • 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.

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skjei agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49 million contract with Nashville on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Skjei is the third big signing for the Predators on the first day of free agency, joining Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault in the Music City. Last season, the 30-year-old Skjei set new personal bests with 47 points and 12 power-play points in 80 regular-season games. While Roman Josi won't be giving up his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, Skjei could be tasked with quarterbacking the second group, which should bolster his fantasy value heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
