Hurricanes' Jeff Skinner: Struggling through scoreless drought

Skinner has just a single assist in his last five games.

Analysis:

Skinner has hit a soft patch after opening the season with 12 points in his first nine games. One reason for optimism is the fact that he continues to shoot the puck a ton -- in his last five games, he's rattled off 15 shots on goal, which bodes well for his future production. At the end of the day, Skinner remains one of the streakier players in the NHL, so these rough patches are to be expected. If you're patient enough to wait out the dry spells, you should be rewarded in the end.
