Jeff Skinner Records Seventh Career Hat Trick
9 months agoBuffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner had one of his biggest performances of the season on Monday versus Seattle, netting his seventh career hat trick in a 6-2 win. He scored an even-strength goal in each period, completing the three-goal game with two minutes left to play. With the outing, Skinner matched the goals tally of his previous 12 appearances. He's massively struggled during the second half of the season and sits on only 45 points (24 goals, 21 assists) through 61 games. However, Monday's hat trick -- his third with the Sabres -- should be a morale-booster for Skinner, and a few more productive outings should definitely put him back in the fold for a top-six position.
