With seemingly no contact on his legs, Skinner's feet propelled out from under him, sending him sprawling to the ice. Upon further review, it's unclear what he was actually doing. At first it looks like his stick might have caught the Penguin skating by, causing Skinner to lose his...

'Canes Insider: Taking it slow with Skinner's return
The concussion suffered by left wing Jeff Skinner earlier this month is reason for concern in the organization.
Skinner is a young second-year forward who has been savvy at avoiding big hits, for the most part. He gained Rookie of the Year honors for 2010-11 after playing in every game.
