Stuart Skinner - Seventh win in last eight starts Skinner made 33 saves in a 6-4 win over the Kraken on Saturday.

Impact Skinner has won three straight and seven of his last eight starts, all in March (7-1-0). The Oilers are riding the hot hand and that's him -- the higher-paid Jack Campbell has just one start in March and hasn't won since Feb. 11 (0-1-4). Keep trotting Skinner out. Edmonton is third in the Pacific division, three points ahead of Seattle, and they won't take their foot off the proverbial gas anytime soon.
