Jeff Skinner is picking up right where he left off last season and hopes to continue his early-season scoring surge when the Carolina Hurricanes host the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old left wing registered a career-high 37 goals in 2016-17 and has posted six tallies in the first nine games of this season after scoring in Carolina’s 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Friday night.

The Winnipeg Jets suffered two overtime losses against top Eastern Conference teams on a quick two-game trip earlier in the week and can avenge one of them when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night. The Jets dropped a 2-1 decision at Pittsburgh on Thursday and lost by the same score at Columbus one night later, giving them at least a point in six of the last seven games.

The struggling Calgary Flames hope to wake up their dormant offense as they continue a season-long, seven-game homestand against the rejuvenated Washington Capitals on Sunday night. Calgary, which stands 29th in the league at 2.27 goals per game, has been held to two or fewer tallies in eight of 11 games and managed to score just eight times during its current 1-4-0 stretch.
