JEFF SKINNER NEWS

Returning against Stars Skinner (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Friday's clash with Dallas, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Skinner will be in action for the first time since Nov. 13 versus Calgary, a stretch of 10 games on injured reserve due to his lower-body problem. The veteran winger has tallied just one goal in his last 13 outings and may be hard-pressed to reach the 20-goal threshold for the second straight year.

Expected to miss two weeks Skinner is slated to miss at least two weeks due to his lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Monday.

Impact Skinner was classified as week-to-week, so it could still be longer before he is given the all-clear. Prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old winger was stuck in a five-game goal drought that will likely have to wait until December for the Toronto native to break.

Surfaces on IR Skinner (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Sharks recalled Zack Ostapchuk from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Skinner will miss at least the next three games, starting with Saturday's matchup against Seattle, after getting injured in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Calgary. He has collected four goals, seven points and 29 shots on net through 17 appearances this campaign.

Hurt early Thursday Skinner (lower body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Flames, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Skinner needed help off the ice after taking a hard fall early in the first period. He was unable to put weight on his right leg as he exited, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. If Skinner misses time, which appears likely based on the nature of the injury, the Sharks would need to make a roster move for a forward, or they could opt to dress seven defensemen.

Tallies Sunday Skinner scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Skinner has two points over four games since he was a healthy scratch versus the Wild on Oct. 26. The 33-year-old winger has mostly filled a bottom-six role since then, though he was listed on the second line and saw 14:44 of ice time Sunday, which was a game that saw the Sharks dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Skinner is at four goals, six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 12 outings this season. He doesn't offer much category coverage, and his offense is unlikely to be strong enough to make up for that.

Pair of points in Friday's loss Skinner scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Skinner has moved up to the top line in recent games, and it's paying off as he builds chemistry with Macklin Celebrini. Through four games, Skinner has three goals, one helper and 10 shots on net. The 33-year-old winger has handled top-six minutes in previous NHL stops, so it wouldn't be surprising if he continues to thrive in that spot for the Sharks.

Continues strong start Skinner scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Skinner has two goals in as many games to begin the year, and he's added six shots on net and four hits. The 33-year-old has made the most of a third-line role, though he's also seeing time on the second power-play unit, which gives him a path to better scoring situations. He's got enough of a history as a successful scorer to be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, but Skinner can also be maddeningly streaky.

Nets marker Thursday Skinner scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Skinner scored 5:31 into his Sharks debut, putting them ahead 1-0 at the time. He saw just 10:40 of ice time while playing in a third line role, though 2:46 of that came on the power play. The 33-year-old Skinner is notoriously unpredictable on offense -- he's just three years removed from an 82-point season, but he was limited to 29 points in 72 regular-season outings with the Oilers in 2024-25. Given the supporting cast in San Jose and Skinner's depth role, don't expect a significant bounce-back campaign for the winger.
