Stuart Skinner - Starting in ArizonaSkinner will defend the blue paint in Monday's road game versus the Coyotes, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
ImpactSkinner struggled in his last start Thursday against the Blues, surrendering five goals on only 29 shots en route to a 6-3 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a middling road matchup with a Coyotes squad that's averaging 3.08 goals per game at home this year, 17th in the NHL.

Calvin Pickard - Gets starting nodPickard will be between the road pipes versus Dallas on Saturday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
ImpactDespite Pickard playing in just five of the Oilers' last 22 games, he is riding a five-game winning streak during which he posted a 2.00 GAA, .922 save percentage and one shutout. Even with the solid record, the 31-year-old netminder figures to continue seeing infrequent usage behind workhorse backstop Stuart Skinner.

Torey Krug - Scores second of the seasonKrug scored and added an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
ImpactThat was just Krug's second goal of the season. It wouldn't be fair to say the 32-year-old defender has lost his offensive gifts, but the goals haven't quite been there this season. Part of that is a lack of power-play goals. He's still part of the team's top unit, but hasn't yet scored on the man advantage. In years past, he's added as many as six goals and 30 points on the power play. Even last year, in a relatively down season for offensive production, he had four goals and 14 points on the power play through 63 games. This year, through 53 contests, he has just eight power-play assists and no goals.
