Skinner notched an assist in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has two goals and two assists over his last five outings since his last healthy scratch. He's playing some of his best hockey of the season lately, which has earned him a spot on the second line, though it comes at a poor time with a two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off on tap. Skinner is now at 20 points, 104 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 49 appearances. If he can carry his momentum through the break, he could be an intriguing option for fantasy managers during the stretch run.

Skinner scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner received a promotion to play alongside Leon Draisaitl, and those two forwards set up each other's third-period goals. With three goals and a helper over his last five contests, Skinner looks to have a little momentum on offense. His 15:27 of ice time Wednesday was also his most since Dec. 3. Skinner is at 10 goals, 19 points, 103 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 48 appearances.

Skinner scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has scored in each of his last two games, though he was scratched once in that span. The 32-year-old had five points over nine outings in January but was scratched five times. Skinner has often had to settle for bottom-six minutes when he plays, and he'll face a little more pressure once Kasperi Kapanen (illness) is cleared to rejoin the lineup. For the season, Skinner has an underwhelming nine goals, eight assists, 96 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 45 appearances.

Skinner scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

He jammed in a rebound late in the first to tie the game 1-1. It was Skinner's first game against the Sabres since the team bought him out of the final three years of his eight-year, $72 million contract in late June. It was his first goal in six games. He has eight goals and 16 points through 44 appearances this campaign. The 32-year-old Skinner has six 30-plus goal seasons but hasn't found his sniping skills in Edmonton. He has just two goals and 19 shots in his last 14 games. That's tough for a guy who put up 210 shots or more in 11 of his previous 14 seasons.

Skinner scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner tallied at 5:18 of the first period to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead while snapping his seven-game goal drought. The 32-year-old winger has been on the fourth line recently, and that's a part of the lineup that's largely been devoid of offense for the Oilers. Skinner is up to seven goals, 14 points, 82 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 38 appearances. He has two points in as many games in January, so he may be doing some good work to avoid being scratched.

Skinner produced an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner ended his six-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched for the Oilers' previous meeting with the Ducks last Sunday, and his ice time was a team-low 9:27 in this contest, so he's on shaky ground at this stage of the season. Skinner has produced just 13 points with 80 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 37 appearances. If head coach Kris Knoblauch mixes things up, Derek Ryan could take a fourth-line spot over Skinner for a while.

Skinner scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Vegas pulled within two goals early in the third period, but Skinner's tally just 38 seconds later cut off the comeback attempt. The 32-year-old winger has found a little more consistency with two goals and three assists over his last seven contests. He's now at six goals, 12 points, 74 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 30 appearances, primarily in a third-line role.

Skinner logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner helped out on Troy Stecher's insurance tally in the third period. The 32-year-old Skinner continues to look improved lately -- he has four points over his last four contests. The winger is up to 11 points, 71 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-8 rating through 27 appearances this season. His upside remains limited in a third-line role, but he could move up to the top six if he continues to play well.

Skinner scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

This was Skinner's first multi-point effort of the season. He hasn't been particularly consistent in a middle-six role, but he has four points over his last six contests to show some improvement in recent contests. He's up to 10 points, 71 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating through 26 outings overall.

Skinner had an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was not good in November, racking up just three points over 13 contests. He's now at eight points, 65 shots on net, a minus-9 rating and 18 hits through 24 appearances, most often playing in a third-line role. Skinner's 6.2 shooting percentage suggests there's some bad luck at play, but he's often had full seasons where his luck doesn't correct course. He's a player to fade in fantasy unless he finds himself back in the top six on a regular basis.
