Sabres’ Jeff Skinner week to week with upper-body injury

Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner is week to week with an upper-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

Skinner appeared to suffer the injury in Tuesday’s loss to the Seattle Kraken.

He had a goal and an assist in 15:42 of ice time in the loss.

This is the second upper-body injury of Skinner’s season, as he was placed on injured reserve in December after a hit from Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan Mackinnon.

Skinner has recorded 17 goals and 16 assists in 38 games this season.
