Stuart Skinner - Between pipes ThursdaySkinner will patrol the home crease versus LA on Thursday, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impactit's a big matchup for both teams as LA is second in the Pacific Division with 96 points, one ahead of Edmonton. Skinner is 24-14-5 with a 2.95 GAA and .908 save percentage, but he has struggled of late, giving up 15 goals on 110 shots in his last four games.

Ryan McLeod - Won't face KingsMcLeod (upper body) isn't available for Thursday's game against Los Angeles.

ImpactMcLeod was last in the lineup March 14. He has 11 goals and 22 points in 55 appearances this season. McLeod will likely serve in a middle-six role once he's ready to return.

Laurent Brossoit - Starting Thursday's gameBrossoit will guard the road goal in Thursday's game versus the Sharks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

ImpactBrossoit appeared in Tuesday's loss to the Oilers, stopping four of five shots in relief of Jonathan Quick. Brossoit won his only other appearance since returning from a lower-body injury, a start versus the Oilers on Saturday. Thursday's matchup with the Sharks should make Brossoit a reasonable fantasy play.

Stuart Skinner - Gets first shutout of seasonSkinner posted a 43-save shutout in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Kings.

ImpactThe shutout was Skinner's first of the season and the second of his career. The Oilers have typically outscored their problems defensively, but this was a game where the goalie stole a result with an excellent showing. The 24-year-old has won six of his last seven outings, improving to 25-14-5 with a 2.88 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 46 appearances. Skinner would have a more favorable matchup if he gets the start Saturday against the Ducks.
