The best goal scorer for the Carolina Hurricanes in recent years is assistant captain Jeff Skinner. He got off to a hot start to kick off the 2017-18 NHL season, but his production has flat lined of late. What is the true cause of the goal drought for Skinner right now?
It seems like the Canes cannot get their two best scorers going at the same time. Sebastian Aho went the first 16 games of the season without a goal, while Skinner held the team lead by far. Yet, Aho is hot right now including a five game goal streak he is just coming off of.
