Watch: Skinner bags 30th goal on crafty breakaway

Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

For the third time in his career, Jeff Skinner has eclipsed the 30-goal plateau.

The Carolina Hurricanes forward deked out Cory Schneider on a breakaway effort to collect the goal and extend his red-hot goal-scoring streak to five games.

Skinner's form has been nothing short of incredible as he has now scored seven goals and eight points over that stretch. Three of those goals have served as game-winners.

The 24-year-old's streak has made it very likely that - with nine games left - he will surpass his previous career high of 33 goals, set during the 2013-14 campaign.
