Plus 1: Skinny Scores First
After a scoreless first period, Jeff Skinner got a wrist shot past Vegas goalie Adin Hill to put Buffalo on the board. It was Skinner’s 16th goal of the season and fifth in his last five games.
Skinner is more than matching the level of offensive production he enjoyed in 2021-22, when he scored 33 goals.
