Nets goal Tuesday Skjei scored a goal, recorded four hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact Skjei mustered all the offense the Predators generated during this game, and while his goal didn't change the outcome of the game, it extended his solid run of play in recent weeks. The 30-year-old blueliner has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last six outings, a span in which he's racked up two goals, two assists, nine shots on goal, five hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-3 rating.

Impact Skjei set up Jakub Vrana's first goal for Nashville at 4:25 of the third period. With three points, including two power-play helpers, over the last four games, Skjei is in a bit of a groove while handling a workhorse role on the first pairing for the Predators. The veteran defenseman is up to 24 points, 124 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 45 hits and a minus-11 rating through 65 contests.

Draws power-play helper Skjei logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Skjei's first helper since Jan. 31, and he has earned a goal and an assist over his last three outings. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to 23 points (six on the power play), 121 shots on net, 34 PIM, 66 blocked shots, 45 hits and a minus-10 rating through 64 appearances. Skjei continues to fill in on the top pairing and first power-play unit in the absence of Roman Josi (upper body), who has no clear timeline to return and could be shut down given the Predators' low place in the standings.

Nets goal in win Skjei scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Skjei scored the go-ahead goal at 3:33 of the second period, snapping his seven-game point drought in the process. While he's been fine defensively this season, Skjei's offense has come in fits and starts. He's at eight goals, 22 points, 119 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 45 hits and a minus-10 rating over 62 appearances. The 30-year-old is likely to continue operating as the Predators' top overall blueliner as long as Roman Josi (upper body) remains on the shelf.

Tallies twice in win Skjei scored two goals on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Skjei has a trio of multi-point efforts over his last eight games, giving him three goals and four assists in that span. While his consistency is still lacking -- he was minus-5 over his previous three outings before a strong showing Saturday -- Skjei remains in a top-four role. The defenseman has seven goals, 21 points, 107 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-8 rating across 54 appearances.

Scores, assists Friday Skjei had a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Sjkei isn't known for his scoring ability, but he's going through a productive stretch. He has two multi-point efforts over his last four appearances and has racked up six points (two goals, four assists) over his last six games. However, he has only 19 points across 50 games all season long, so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside in most formats even when factorning in this productive stretch.

Distributes three assists Skjei recorded three assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sharks.

Impact Two of Skjei's helpers came on the power play. He had been limited to one goal over his previous eight contests. The defenseman's scoring contributions have been limited this season, but he remains firmly in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit. Skjei is at four goals, 13 assists, 95 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 38 hits and a minus-5 rating over 47 appearances.

Fills empty cage Skjei scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Skjei ended a six-game point drought by netting the final goal of this contest. The 30-year-old blueliner remains in a steady top-four role, but he has had trouble getting anything going on offense this season. He's at four goals, 14 points, 91 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 45 appearances. Skjei is on pace to miss the 30-point mark for the first time in four years.

Rare two-point game Skjei picked up two assists in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday.

Impact Skjei has four points, including three assists, in his last 15 games. He also has 14 blocks and 29 shots in that span. Skjei delivered a career-high 47 points in Carolina last season, but that now looks like a product of their system. No need to roster him at this time.

Snaps nine-game point drought Skjei had a goal and assist in a 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Impact He had gone nine games without a point and 24 without a goal. Skjei has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 33 games, so it's unlikely he gets back to his career mark of 47 points set last season. The gaps in Skjei's offense are simply too far apart to offer managers any value.
