Jeffrey Scott Skinner (born May 16, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres.
Selected seventh overall by the Hurricanes in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Skinner was the youngest player in the NHL during the 2010–11 season and is the youngest player ever to play in the NHL All-Star Game, as well as any All-Star game within the four major North American sports leagues. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy for best rookie in the 2010–11 season, becoming the first Hurricanes player to do so.
During the 2022–23 season, he surpassed Ron Hainsey’s record of 907 games without making the Stanley Cup playoffs, further extending the record to 1.006 games (and counting) as of completion of the 2023–24 season.
