A scrappy Skinner is the best kind.

We need Skinner putting pucks in the net, a lot of pucks. He can't do that from the penalty box.

Pretty sure Skinner ranked near the top of the league in penalties drawn.

I doubt he has ever had an NHL fight, he’s not going to start now. Maybe Krebs challenged him to a boxing match.

Couldn't find any stats on this for 2022=23 but he was top in 2019.

Interestingly, looking around and mostly getting penalties taken stats, Dahlin was tied for most in the NHL. Had no idea. I knew he took quite a few, but didn't realize it was this many. No wonder PK stats suffer when your top D man heads to the box this often.

Fighting is not the point - speed, strength, balance, hand eye, and confidence are all being exercised.
