Skinner has only played in 32 games this season, but he already has a team-leading 20 goals and is second in team scoring with 33 points (20g, 13a). <\/p>\n<p>The difference continues to be his knack of scoring big goals when the team needs them the most. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe keeps on ticking. I\u2019m really happy for him, and I\u2019m very happy for our hockey team. He\u2019s scoring, and he\u2019s scoring clutch goals. That\u2019s the difference,\u201d head coach Kirk Muller said. \u201cThe guys that we needed to score tonight in a grinding-type game \u2026 came through for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Carolina Hurricanes news release<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even without captain Eric Staal, the Carolina Hurricanes keep rolling, winning their fourth straight game by topping the Nashville Predators 2-1.
