Skinner will be between the home pipes against Minnesota on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. - Skinner is undefeated in regulation over his last four outings, posting a 3-0-1 record to go with a 2.98 GAA and .871 save percentage. While the Oilers would no doubt prefer the netminder's save percentage was over .900, as long as he keeps earning standings points, he should maintain his spot as the No. 1 option ahead of Calvin Pickard. |

Skinner made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday. - His teammates gave him a 3-1 lead in the first, and he never looked back. Skinner has had a rough start to 2024-25 and sits with a 6-5-2 record, 3.18 GAA and .881 save percentage. But he's gone 3-0-1 in his last four starts, and the Oilers are starting to surge a bit. Still, Skinner generally allows too many goals a game -- this was his third game in 13 starts this season with two or fewer goals allowed. He did turn last year around in a big way, so maybe he can do the same for 2024-25. |

Skinner will tend the twine for Tuesday's road game at Ottawa, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. - With Calvin Pickard already named the starter for Monday's matchup with Montreal, the decision to go with Skinner for the second game of the back-to-back shouldn't come as a surprise. While the 26-year-old Skinner has managed a 2-1-1 record in his last four outings, he's also given up at least three goals in each of those contests. Still, he figures to remain the No. 1 option in Edmonton unless Pickard can string together some strong performances. |

Skinner also got off to a slow start last season before rebounding and ending the regular season with a 36-16-5 record, 2.62 GAA and .905 save percentage. He will not have an easy time with the Canucks, who are 7-2-3 this season, though they have struggled at home, going 1-1-3. |

Skinner will be between the pipes at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. - Skinner has struggled for consistency this season, posting a 3-4-1 record, 3.31 GAA and .881 save percentage in eight appearances.

Skinner turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets. - The Oilers lost Connor McDavid to a lower-body injury early in the first period, and the team never recovered. While Skinner was coming off a shutout of the Penguins his last time out, that was the only start this season in which he's given up fewer than three goals, leaving him with a shaky 3.51 GAA and .872 save percentage to go along with a 2-4-1 record. |

Skinner stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. - Skinner has won just one of his first five outings of the season, and he was just seven seconds away from forcing a shoot-out before Sebastian Aho's game-winning goal changed his plans. Skinner has posted a save percentage below the .910 mark and has allowed at least three goals in each of his five outings this season, so there's no way to sugarcoat he's been struggling badly in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign. |

Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas on Saturday, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports. - Skinner picked up his first win of the season Tuesday, turning aside 27 shots in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia. The netminder is off to a slow start, as he is 1-2-0 with a 4.43 GAA and an .845 save percentage. The good news is that Skinner got off to an equally bad start in 2023-24, starting the year 1-5-1 with a 3.87 GAA and an .854 save percentage, before rebounding to finish the season with a 36-16-5 mark, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Skinner will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home matchup against the Flyers, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV. - It's been a rough start to the season for Skinner and the Oilers alike -- the 25-year-old has made just 33 saves on 41 shots across two contests, and the club is 0-3-0.

The Alberta native is coming off a career year that saw him post a 36-16-5 record, .905 save percentage and 2.62 GAA over 59 regular-season appearances. |

Skinner allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. - Skinner was able to keep the game close until the Flames scored twice in the middle of the third period. It's an improvement on his season debut, which saw him chased after giving up five goals on 13 shots. The 25-year-old's slow start is reminiscent of 2023-24, when he had just one win in his first eight outings. The bigger problem has been the Oilers' offense putting up just three goals in the first three games this season. They'll host the Flyers on Tuesday. |

Skinner is expected to guard the home goal Sunday versus Calgary, according to Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels. - Skinner will get the second half of Edmonton's back-to-back after Calvin Pickard plays in Saturday's home matchup against Chicago.

In the 2023-24 regular season, he went 2-1-0 against the Flames, stopping 75 of 83 shots. |
None |
| Oct. 9, 2024 |
Skinner gave up five goals on 13 shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Jets before he was pulled in favor of Calvin Pickard. - Skinner had a rough preseason, and that continued with this poor outing to begin the regular season, though the Jets are a decent opponent. The 25-year-old goalie carried a 3.16 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 17 games between October and November last season, so it's possible he will have another slow start this year. In addition to stopping more pucks, Skinner will need the Oilers' offense to wake up after it produced a goose egg Wednesday. Edmonton hosts Chicago on Saturday and Calgary on Sunday, so both Skinner and Pickard should get a chance to start. |

Skinner will patrol the home crease Wednesday against Winnipeg, according to Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels. - Skinner posted a 36-16-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 59 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Most recently, he turned aside 21 of 23 shots in a home loss to the Canucks on Monday. The 25-year-old should see another heavy workload in 2024-25 as the Oilers' clear-cut No. 1 goaltender. |

Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports. - Skinner has played in at least 50 regular-season games in each of the previous two campaigns, including last year's 36-win performance. The 25-year-old netminder should be in line for another heavy workload in 2024-25 and could even top the 60-game threshold to be one of the leaders in the league. If he does play that much, Skinner could top the 40-win mark as well given the offensive support around him. |

Skinner will be between the pipes for Game 7 on the road against the Panthers on Monday. - Skinner and the Oilers will be looking for a fourth consecutive win and the Stanley Cup title in Monday's matchup.

Skinner will protect the home goal versus the Panthers in Thursday's Game 3, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports. - Skinner has let in five goals on 45 shots over the first two games of the series, but he'll stay between the pipes for the first contest in Edmonton. The fact that he hasn't let in more than three goals in nine of his last 10 contests is a positive, but the Oilers have just one tally over two games in the Stanley Cup Finals, so Skinner will need more support. |
None |

Skinner stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to Florida in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. - Skinner didn't have much support in front of him in Game 2 -- the Oilers had seven shots on goal through the first two frames. It was only the second time in his last 10 outings that Skinner has allowed more than two goals in a contest. The 25-year-old has an .886 save percentage through two outings in this series, though Edmonton hasn't been able to provide the netminder with offensive support (one goal through two games). The last time Skinner lost consecutive contests in the postseason, he rebounded with three straight wins -- the Oilers will need that trend to continue when they head back to Edmonton for Game 3 on Thursday. Skinner is 11-7 with a 2.51 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 18 postseason appearances. |
None |
| June 10, 2024 |
Skinner is expected to tend the road twine against the Panthers in Game 2 on Monday. - Skinner gave up just two goals in Game 1, his eighth time allowing two or fewer goals in the Oilers' last nine contests, but registered a subpar .882 save percentage after facing a mere 17 shots. Edmonton has allowed more than 25 shots in only two of those nine contests, so fantasy managers should expect Skinner to continue facing a light workload. |
None |

Skinner stopped 20 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4. - It was an ugly first few minutes for Skinner, as the Stars held a 2-0 lead at 5:29 of the first period. The Oilers evened the score by the intermission and ran away with the game over the final 40 minutes, with Skinner hardly tested down the stretch. The Western Conference Finals are tied at two games apiece, and Skinner hasn't had to face more than 24 shots in any of the last three contests. He's now 9-5 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 14 playoff games. He'll look to build some momentum for the Oilers in Game 5 on Friday in Dallas. |

Skinner stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. - Skinner didn't face more than 24 shots in any of his five appearances in the second round versus the Canucks, but the Stars predictably were more active. The 25-year-old was up to the challenge, earning his third straight win. He's allowed just five goals in that span. Skinner's back in the No. 1 job for the Oilers, so he should be expected to start Game 2 on Saturday. |

Skinner will tend the twine on the road in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Stars on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports. - Skinner has faced less than 20 shots in each of his last four appearances, posting a 3-1 record to go with a 2.66 GAA and .848 save percentage over that stretch. Despite being benched for Games 4 and 5 of the Oilers' second-round series versus Vancouver, the 25-year-old backstop was able to reclaim the starting role from Calvin Pickard for the final two games of the best-of-seven series. Skinner will likely remain the preferred choice in net for Edmonton during the Western Conference Finals. |
None |

Skinner will be between the road pipes for Monday's Game 7 clash with the Canucks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. - Skinner returned from a two-game benching to stop 14 of 15 shots in a Game 6 win. In each of his last three appearances, the netminder has faced less than 20 shots, though that's not surprising since the Canucks have averaged a league-worst 21.1 shots per game in the postseason. If he can secure the win Monday, Skinner should be the presumptive starter moving forward. |

Skinner will get the starting nod for Game 2 in Vancouver, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports. - Skinner has been shaky this postseason and was rocked for five goals on just 24 shots in the Game 1 loss Wednesday. Through six playoff games, he's registered an .893 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA. On the bright side, Skinner hasn't taken consecutive losses since Feb. 21 and 24. |

Skinner allowed five goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks in Game 1. - Skinner held Vancouver to one goal through most of the first two periods before Elias Lindholm cut the lead to 4-2 late in the second. He'd then allow three more tallies in the third in an eventual one-goal defeat. The 25-year-old Skinner has been shaky at times this postseason, sporting an .893 save percentage through his first six games. He'll look to right the ship Friday in Game 2. |

Skinner is expected to guard the road goal in Game 1 against Vancouver on Wednesday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic. - Skinner earned a respectable 2.59 GAA and .910 save percentage in five first-round contests versus LA. However, he might have difficulty against the Canucks after posting a record of 0-3-0 with a 4.60 GAA and an .830 save percentage across four regular-season appearances versus Vancouver in 2023-24. It wouldn't be surprising to see Skinner challenged regularly by the Canucks, but the Oilers have averaged 4.40 goals per game in the postseason, so they're capable of putting themselves in a position to win even when their goaltending isn't the best. |

Skinner stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Los Angeles. - It wasn't the busiest game for Skinner, but the 25-year-old netminder did just enough for the one-goal win as the Oilers took the series 4-1.

The 25-year-old was streaky in the regular season, finishing with a 36-16-5 record, 2.62 GAA and .905 save percentage in 59 appearances, but Skinner seems to be on a roll with a chance to eliminate the Kings up for grabs. |

Skinner is set to start at home against the Kings for Game 2 on Wednesday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton. - Skinner allowed four goals on 37 shots versus LA on Monday, but he got plenty of goal support en route to a 7-4 victory. He's typically done better against the Kings, posting a 4-1-0 record, 2.39 GAA and .926 save percentage over five contests this year, including four regular-season outings. The Kings also left something to be desired offensively during the 2023-24 campaign, finishing in a tie for 16th offensively with 3.10 goals per contest. |

Skinner allowed four goals on 13 shots before he was replaced by Calvin Pickard in the second period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. - It certainly wasn't what Skinner had in mind for his final tuneup before the post-season -- the Avs scored four times in the first 10:17 of the opening period before Skinner was replaced by Pickard to start the second. The 25-year-old Skinner had won three of his previous four outings prior to Thursday, posting a .921 save percentage in that span. He'll wrap up the regular season 36-16-5 with a .905 save percentage and 2.62 GAA. Skinner figures to be back between the pipes when the Oilers open the playoffs Monday at home versus the Kings. |

With Campbell in the minors, Skinner has an opportunity to rack up starts for Edmonton if he bounces back. It helps Skinner's quest that the Sharks have by far the worst offense in the league, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. |

Skinner stopped 12 of 16 shots in relief of Jack Campbell in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Canucks. - Skinner and Campbell had identical stat lines, though Skinner had five more minutes of playing time.
