Brady Skjei - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Picks up power-play assist Skjei notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact This was Skjei's second helper in the last three games and his first power-play point since Oct. 25. The 30-year-old defenseman has struggled with consistency on offense to begin his Nashville tenure. He's at two goals, eight points, 43 shots on net, 21 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 21 appearances.

Ends slump with assist Skjei notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Skjei put an end to his nine-game point drought when he set up Roman Josi's go-ahead goal in the second period. Outside of a four-game streak in late October, it's been a rather poor first part of the season for Skjei. He's now two goals, five assists, 39 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-4 rating over 19 appearances. He continues to see top-four minutes, but he's looking more like a 30-point player in 2024-25 than the 13-goal, 47-point performer he was in the 2023-24 regular season.

Sets up overtime tally Skjei produced an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Skjei extended his point streak to three games when he fed Jonathan Marchessault for the game-winning goal in overtime. The 30-year-old Skjei has two goals and two assists over eight contests this season. The defenseman has added 26 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating. While he's been listed as a third-pairing defenseman, Skjei functions as the No. 2 blueliner behind Roman Josi in Nashville.

Scores go-ahead goal Skjei scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Skjei has a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 30-year-old defenseman had some struggles on defense before making up for those lapses with the game-winning goal at 13:07 of the third period. He's at three points, 24 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-4 rating over seven outings this season. Skjei and Roman Josi were paired together Friday, though head coach Andrew Brunette may occasionally move Skjei back to the second pairing.

Collects helper Tuesday Skjei produced an assist, four shots on goal, four PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.

Impact Skjei has had a slow start to his time with Nashville, picking up a goal and an assist through six contests. The 30-year-old defenseman has maintained a top-four role and still has the second-best scoring potental among the team's blueliners, trailing only Roman Josi. Skjei has added 21 shots on net, seven blocked shots, three hits, six PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 21:03 of ice time.

First goal with new club Skjei scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 7-3 defeat to Seattle.

Impact Skjei fired home a rebound late in the second period of Tuesday's loss, but it was the last marker of the game for Nashville. The left-shot defenseman added five shots, one block and a minus-1 rating in 22:51 of ice time. Skjei is coming off his most productive season in his 10-year NHL career -- he generated 47 points in 80 regular-season games with Carolina in 2023-24. As a result, Skjei was rewarded with a seven-year contract from Nashville in July. The former first-round pick is serving in a top-four capacity and seeing time on the power play.

Inks seven-year deal Skjei agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49 million contract with Nashville on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Skjei is the third big signing for the Predators on the first day of free agency, joining Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault in the Music City. Last season, the 30-year-old Skjei set new personal bests with 47 points in 12 power-play points. While Roman Josi won't be giving up his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, Skjei could be tasked with quarterbacking the second group, which should bolster his fantasy value heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
