Edmonton Oilers' Underutilization of Jeff Skinner
The Edmonton Oilers have made left winger Jeff Skinner a healthy scratch once again, highlighting his struggles in his first year with the organization.
Skinner, 32, has scored only seven goals and 15 points in 40 games, with his average ice time decreasing to 12:36 this season.
- Average ice time in October: 14:47
- Career low average ice time: 14:31 (2020-21)
- Average ice time in last five games: 9:27 or less (three games)
Signing him to a one-year, $3-million contract now seems like a mistake.
Despite being a poor fit with Edmonton, Skinner could still be an asset for other NHL teams willing to give him more playing time.
Author's summary: Oilers' underuse of Skinner may lead to another team utilizing him.
