Hurricanes' Brady Skjei: Two points against Jets
Rotowire
Skjei scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Winnipeg.
Both points came in the second period as Carolina built a 3-1 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Skjei hadn't had a multi-point performance since Jan. 19, and the trade deadline addition of Shayne Gostisbehere has shut him out of regular power-play duty limiting his fantasy upside. On the season, Skjei has a career-high 13 goals and 29 points in 65 games, but he's unlikely to reach his career high of 39 points.

Hurricanes' Brady Skjei: Big night on power play
Rotowire
Skjei scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
