Hurricanes' Jeff Skinner: Game-time decision Friday

Skinner (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Friday's home game against the Rangers.

Analysis:

Skinner skated with Victor Rask and Lee Stempniak on the Hurricanes' top line during Friday's morning skate, indicating he's likely closer to probable than questionable for the evening's contest, but he'll have to go through pregame warmups before his status is confirmed. The 24-year-old winger's owners can check back prior to puck drop Friday evening for confirmation on Skinner's availability.
