Jeff Skinner is on a roll. The Carolina Hurricanes’ 21-year-old forward recorded the hat trick - his second of the season - to propel his team to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday.

Skinner is now up to 19 goals on the season. He has five goals in the last two games, and nine points in his last five games.

Born in Toronto, his recent hot streak comes less than a week before Hockey Canada will announce its roster for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Could his play of late have any kind of influence on those entrusted with making the decisions for Canada’s team?
