Jeff Skinner Has Played 1000 Games Without A Single Playoff Appearance
Jeff Skinner has etched his name into a unique corner of NHL history by playing in his 1,000th game without ever stepping onto the ice for a playoff matchup.
This is a rare feat; of the 395 players who've hit the 1,000-game mark, Skinner is the lone exception in not having experienced postseason play.
Drafted seventh overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2010 Entry Draft, Skinner spent eight seasons with the Hurricanes before moving to the Buffalo Sabres in 2018, part of a trade deal that included Pyotr Kochetkov among others.
Throughout his tenure with both teams, Skinner has shown his skill and dedication to the game, despite the teams not making it to the playoffs.
Reaching 1,000 NHL games is a testament to Skinner's resilience, skill, and enduring presence in the league. It highlights not only his individual talents but also his importance as a team player. This milestone is a significant achievement in Skinner's career, and both he and his supporters have every reason to celebrate this remarkable journey in professional hockey.
