Fends off Kraken Skinner stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact The Oilers were missing Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stepped up with a hat trick to lead the charge. Skinner wasn't great between the pipes, but he had enough support to get the win, his fourth in his last seven outings. He's allowed four or more goals five times in 11 appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 26-year-old netminder improved to 24-17-4 with a 2.87 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 48 appearances. The Oilers are off until Wednesday, when they begin a back-to-back set with a home game versus the Stars, followed by Thursday's rematch with these Kraken in Seattle. Expect Skinner and Calvin Pickard to split those starts.

Tending twine Saturday Skinner will patrol the home crease against Seattle on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Skinner stopped 13 of 16 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg before leaving the game due to a concussion spotter. However, he won't miss any additional action. Skinner has a 23-17-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.85 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 47 appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 14th in the league with 2.97 goals per game in 2024-25.

Oilers superstars McDavid, Draisaitl out at least a week; Stuart Skinner avoids injury scare

The Edmonton Oilers lost both a game and another superstar Thursday, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Winnipeg Jets after Connor McDavid left with a lower-body injury

Avoids injury scare Skinner (concussion) will be available if called upon against the Kraken at home Saturday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Kris Knoblauch wouldn't confirm whether he was going to use Skinner or Calvin Pickard in goal Saturday but at least Skinner is an option. Over his last 11 outings, the 26-year-old Skinner is just 3-5-0 with a .872 save percentage while Pickard is 2-0-1 in his last three. Without Connor McDavid (lower body) or Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) versus Seattle, the Oilers will need to rely heavily on their backstop Saturday.

Allows three goals Thursday Skinner stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Skinner didn't look good in this game against a Devils team that was shorthanded due to the absence of key elements such as Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Jack Hughes (shoulder). Still, the struggles are becoming a worrisome trend for the 26-year-old goaltender. He's gone 2-5-0 with a 3.77 GAA and an .868 save percentage over his last nine outings, but perhaps the most worrying aspect of that stretch is he's posted a save percentage of .900 or higher just once over that nine-game stretch.
