Jeff Skinner is playing with some kind of confidence.
During the second period of Sunday's game against the Florida Panthers, the Carolina Hurricanes winger took off down the ice after receiving a breakout pass from Victor Rask.
He then managed to fend off defenseman Aaron Ekblad, before dropping a deke and going backhand shelf on James Reimer.
The goal was Skinner's ninth in 20 games this season, and will be hard to top in terms of presentation.
