Skinner was placed on unconditional waivers Monday for purposes of contract termination, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Sharks last July. He has posted six goals, 13 points, 56 shots on net and 17 hits across 32 appearances with San Jose in the 2025-26 season. Assuming he clears and his contract gets terminated, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

Skinner scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has two goals and three assists over his last five contests. That has helped the 33-year-old regain a stable spot on the third line after being an occasional scratch in December following his return from a lower-body injury. Skinner is up to six goals, 12 points, 53 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 31 appearances this season, so he still doesn't carry a lot of fantasy value in most formats.

Skinner notched two assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner found success alongside Pavol Regenda, who had a hat trick in the loss. The 33-year-old Skinner has three points over his last two contests after going 13 games without getting on the scoresheet. He lost time to a lower-body injury in that span as well. Skinner's now at 10 points, 49 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 28 appearances this season. With a bottom-six role when he plays and the potential to be a healthy scratch when the team is healthier, Skinner has low upside in fantasy.

Skinner scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead late in the second period on a power play. With the tally, he is up to five goals, eight points and 46 shots on net through 27 appearances this season. The 33-year-old winger's goal Wednesday was his first since Nov. 2, as he has been in and out of the lineup with a lower-body injury. While he lacks the high-end point production needed for most fantasy formats, his role on the Sharks' top power play makes him worth monitoring if he can get hot.

Skinner (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Friday's clash with Dallas, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will be in action for the first time since Nov. 13 versus Calgary, a stretch of 10 games on injured reserve due to his lower-body problem. The veteran winger has tallied just one goal in his last 13 outings and may be hard-pressed to reach the 20-goal threshold for the second straight year.

Skinner is slated to miss at least two weeks due to his lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was classified as week-to-week, so it could still be longer before he is given the all-clear. Prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old winger was stuck in a five-game goal drought that will likely have to wait until December for the Toronto native to break.

Skinner (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks recalled Zack Ostapchuk from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Skinner will miss at least the next three games, starting with Saturday's matchup against Seattle, after getting injured in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Calgary. He has collected four goals, seven points and 29 shots on net through 17 appearances this campaign.

Skinner (lower body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Flames, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner needed help off the ice after taking a hard fall early in the first period. He was unable to put weight on his right leg as he exited, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. If Skinner misses time, which appears likely based on the nature of the injury, the Sharks would need to make a roster move for a forward, or they could opt to dress seven defensemen.

Skinner scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has two points over four games since he was a healthy scratch versus the Wild on Oct. 26. The 33-year-old winger has mostly filled a bottom-six role since then, though he was listed on the second line and saw 14:44 of ice time Sunday, which was a game that saw the Sharks dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Skinner is at four goals, six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 12 outings this season. He doesn't offer much category coverage, and his offense is unlikely to be strong enough to make up for that.

Skinner scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has moved up to the top line in recent games, and it's paying off as he builds chemistry with Macklin Celebrini. Through four games, Skinner has three goals, one helper and 10 shots on net. The 33-year-old winger has handled top-six minutes in previous NHL stops, so it wouldn't be surprising if he continues to thrive in that spot for the Sharks.
