Injured Wednesday Skinner (upper body) won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche.

Impact Skinner was hurt on a big hit from Nathan MacKinnon in the second period and tried to play through it initially. The Sabres have just 12 forwards on the roster, so they may need to make a move if Skinner is ruled out for Friday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Two points in Tuesday's loss Skinner scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Both points came late in the game as Buffalo tried to rally from a 4-0 deficit, but Skinner's tally midway through the third period on an impressive individual effort was the Sabres' last gasp on offense. The performance snapped a brief three-game point drought for the veteran winger, and while Skinner isn't quite matching last season's pace, he still has 11 goals and 20 points through 26 contests to begin 2023-24.

Nets power-play goal Skinner found the back of the net in a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Skinner scored with the man advantage midway through the second period to put the Sabres up 2-1. That gives him eight tallies and 14 points in 18 contests this season. As solid as Skinner's been, this was just his second power-play point of the campaign, so there's room for improvement there -- perhaps Sunday's performance will be the start of that.

Two-point effort against Wild Skinner scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.

Impact After dipsy-doodling around Filip Gustavsson and tucking the puck home on a breakaway in the final minute of the second period, Skinner helped set up John-Jason Peterka early in the third for what proved to be the winning tally. Skinner has quickly proven that last season's career-best numbers were no fluke, and the 31-year-old winger has followed up that 82-point campaign with seven goals and 13 points in the first 14 games of 2023-24.

Two helpers in Sunday's win Skinner picked up two assists in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Avalanche.

Impact He helped set up Buffalo's first two tallies while adding four shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Skinner is up to five goals and nine points in nine games to begin the season as the 31-year-old looks to prove he can repeat the career-best point-per-game pace he put up in 2022-23, when he amassed 82 points in 79 contests.

Supplies helper in loss Skinner notched an assist, five shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact Skinner helped out on a Rasmus Dahlin goal in the second period. The assist extended Skinner's point streak to four games (four goals, two helpers). The winger is at seven points, 30 shots on net, two PIM and a minus-3 rating through eight contests. He's seeing even-strength time on the second line, but the 31-year-old remains on the top power-play unit.

Three-game, four-goal streak Skinner scored twice in a 6-4 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.

Impact Skinner opened the scoring in the first period when he took a cross-ice pass from Alex Tuch on a two-on-one and beat a diving Anton Forsberg blocker side. Skinner then pushed the score to 3-0 early in the second when he banked the puck in off Forsberg's skate from behind the goal line. The markers stretched his goal streak to three games with four tallies (five points) in that span. It also brings him up to five goals in his last five outings. The Sabres have struggled thus far and sit last in the Atlantic, but Skinner hasn't been the reason -- he's in midseason sniping form.

Strikes on power play Skinner scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-1 loss against the Canadiens.

Impact Skinner accounted for the only score for the Sabres, with helpers from Dylan Cozens and Rasmus Dahlin. The goal was Skinner's third of the season, as he has gotten off to a strong start. The veteran has lit the lamp in three of the past four games while averaging a point per game across the stretch. He'll look to stay hot Tuesday night against the Senators.

Two points in win Skinner had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact The 35-goal man from last season put the Sabres up 1-0 late on the second period. Casey Mittelstadt forced a turnover along the wall, took the puck to the slot and dished to Skinner at the bottom of the right circle. It's Skinner's second of the season, and he has three points in his last three games. The 31-year-old has topped the 30-goal mark on six occasions during his career, and there's nothing to suggest he won't hit the same height again in 2023-24.

Scores first of the season Skinner scored a goal on a team-high five shots in a 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Skinner extended Buffalo's lead to 2-0 in the first period, burying a net-front feed from Owen Power. It's the first point of the season for the 31-year-old Skinner after he tallied 35 goals and a career-high 82 points in 79 games last year. Skinner should continue to offer solid offensive upside while working on the Sabres' first line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch while also seeing time on the top power-play unit.
