Skinner is slated to guard the crease against Winnipeg at home Thursday, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was called into action versus the Jets on Tuesday, stopping all eight shots that he faced. With Mike Smith (leg) still unavailable, the 23-year-old Skinner should continue to split the starts with Mikko Koskinen. With Connor McDavid and company in front of him, Skinner doesn't need to be perfect, simply good enough to keep the game close.
