Brady Skjei recently played in his 100th NHL game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights on October 31st. While he had an impressive 2016-2017 campaign, totaling 39 points in the regular season and five in the playoffs, he has yet to make a similar impact on the ice as last year.
This could be because he simply isn’t playing as well as last season. It is more likely due to the inconsistency of the Rangers defensive pairings and Skjei’s shift to more of a defensive role.
2016-2017 Season
Skjei was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team for his performance during the 2016-2017 season.
