Stuart Skinner - NHL News & Rumors

Only two goals allowed in win Skinner made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.

Impact His teammates gave him a 3-1 lead in the first, and he never looked back. Skinner has had a rough start to 2023-24 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.

Between pipes Tuesday Skinner will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt with Ottawa, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impact With Calvin Pickard already named the starter for Monday's clash with Montreal, the decision to go with Skinner for the second game of the back-to-back should come as a surprise. While the 26-year-old Skinner has managed a 2-1-1 record in his last four, 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.

Another queasy night in blue paint Skinner made 18 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Skinner is best deployed with a big container of antacids. His game has been up and down (mostly down, it feels like), and his stat line of 5-5-2, 3.28 GAA and .877 save percentage have hung like an anchor around most fantasy managers. Skinner found his groove last season after a horrendous start, so there's always hope. Hope's a crummy strategy, though. At some point, you are going to need to determine if you can live through a Skinner see-saw or not.

Impact Skinner is 3-1-0 in his last four starts despite posting a mediocre .897 save percentage over that span. Overall, the 26-year-old netminder is 5-5-1 with an .881 save percentage and 3.22 GAA on the season.

Gets overtime win Skinner stopped 19 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Skinner allowed three goals for the third start in a row, but he's won two of those efforts. He nearly had this one in regulation, but the Islanders overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period to force overtime. Skinner improved to 5-5-1, but his 3.22 GAA and .881 save percentage haven't inspired a lot of confidence in his play. He's yet to start four consecutive games, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod Thursday at home versus the Predators.

Making third consecutive start Skinner will tend the home twine versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Skinner made 17 saves on 20 shots in a 7-3 win over Vancouver in his last start. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent through the early portion of the campaign, and over his last six appearances, he's alternated wins and losses. The 6-foot-4 netminder has posted a 4-5-1 record, .883 save percentage, 3.25 GAA and one shutout through 10 appearances. Skinner will face an Islanders squad that ranks 28th in the league with 2.47 goals per game over 15 contests.

Wins with plenty of support Skinner allowed three goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Skinner didn't perform well, but the Oilers' offense put up a season-high seven goals to lift him up. This was Skinner's third win in his last five outings, but he's allowed 14 goals in that span. He's now 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 10 starts. This was the first time he started consecutive games since a stretch of three straight starts from Oct. 19-25, but a pair of back-to-back sets in that span likely led to an increased workload for Calvin Pickard. The Oilers don't have any back-to-backs in the next week, and they'll be back in action at home Tuesday against the low-scoring Islanders.

Facing Canucks Skinner will be between the visiting pipes in Vancouver on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Skinner gave up three goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Vegas. The loss gave Skinner a 3-5-1 start, along with a 3.28 GAA and an .885 save percentage. Skinner also got off to a slow start last season before rebounding and ending the regular season with a 36-16-5 mark, with a 2.62 GAA and a .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.

Loses late versus Vegas Skinner allowed three goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Skinner had a 2-1 lead to protect going into the third period, but Noah Hanifin's pair of goals flipped it in favor of the Golden Knights. While it wasn't a poor start from Skinner, it was his third regulation loss in his last six games. He's now at a 3-5-1 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .885 save percentage through nine starts this season. The Oilers haven't strung together more than two consecutive wins all year, which has made it tough for both Skinner and Calvin Pickard to get into a rhythm. Their next game is Saturday in Vancouver.
