Friday was a big day for Sabres forward Jeff Skinner. Not only did Skinner return to Raleigh for the first time since being traded last offseason, he was named an NHL All-Star for the only the second time in his career.
Skinner, once the NHL’s youngest All-Star ever, returns to the game on the heels of having arguably the best start to a season in his career.
Through the first 44 games of the season, Skinner has put up an impressive 30 goals. Skinner’s performance has him second in the league in scoring – Alexander Ovechkin leads with 32 goals.
