Edmonton Oilers forward Jeff Skinner is playing in his 15th NHL season and has appeared in over 1,075 regular-season games for his career. This season, he will finally get an opportunity to do something he has never previously experienced in the NHL.
Play in a Stanley Cup playoff game.
When the Oilers officially clinched their playoff berth for the 2024-25 season on Friday night with a 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks, it put Skinner into the postseason for the first time in his NHL career.
When he makes his postseason debut later this month, he will have played in more regular-season games than any other player in NHL history prior to making their first playoff appearance.
