Jeff Skinner can't stop making huge plays in a Buffalo Sabres sweater.

In the midst of a scrum for a loose puck in front of the net in overtime Friday evening, Skinner found the puck and buried it home at the 3:06 mark. The power play goal gave the Sabres a 3-2 win against Montreaal and extended their win streak to eight games.

"I just tried to whack at the rebound and fortunately it just bounced the right way for us," Skinner said in a postgame interview. "I was able to just throw it right in there. I wasn't able to see how it went in. But it went in and that's all that matters."

Skinner's game-winning goal was his second of the game and he now is tied for the NHL lead with 17 on the season.

These are the eight best moments of Jeff Skinner's short Buffalo Sabres career.
