Koskinen will be stationed between the pipes for Monday's home tilt with the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen coughed up five goals on just 12 shots before being removed from Saturday's tilt with Calgary. The veteran netminder is now 23-10-3 with a 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 38 appearances. Koskinen is 2-0-0 against Arizona this season while stopping a combined 51 of 55 shots in those two outings.

Koskinen allowed five goals on 12 shots in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen actually escaped this one with a no-decision, as the Oilers' offense covered the damage he allowed. It was still an ugly showing of goaltending for the 33-year-old Finn, who has now allowed 17 goals in his last four appearances. He's at 23-10-1 but with a lackluster 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 38 appearances. Mike Smith didn't fare all that much better with four goals allowed on 26 shots -- it's unclear who head coach Jay Woodcroft will give the start to Monday in a favorable matchup against the Coyotes.

Koskinen will tend the twine against the Flames on the road Saturday, Tony Brar of OilersTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen needs two more wins to match his career best set back in 2018-19 when he appeared in 55 games for the Oilers. Looking ahead to the rest of the campaign, the Finn should continue to divide the netminding duties with Mike Smith, making both middling fantasy targets in season-long formats but decent options in daily competitions thanks to their star-studded offense.

Koskinen made 23 saves on 27 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Stars on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen could not quite hold on Tuesday. After being given a 1-0 lead through the first period, the netminder surrendered a pair in the second period to go down 2-1, and after two consecutive goals for Edmonton gave Koskinen the chance to win, he surrendered two unanswered goals before Tyler Seguin's empty net goal ended things for good. The loss ends a four-game winning streak for the veteran netminder.

Koskinen will patrol the blue paint in Dallas on Tuesday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen has rattled off four straight wins despite a pedestrian .906 save percentage during that stretch. The 33-year-old has improved to 23-9-3 with a 3.04 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 36 appearances. He's been better on the road this season, posting a 2.69 GAA in 18 games.

Koskinen turned aside 25 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Things were looking dicey for Koskinen and the Oilers when Nico Hischier found the bottom corner of the net on a rebound midway through the third period to give New Jersey a 3-2 lead, but the veteran netminder shut the door the rest of the way as the Edmonton offense roared to life. Koskinen has won four straight starts and is 11-1-2 over his last 15 appearances, but that's largely due to the Oilers scoring 3.8 goals a game for him during that stretch -- his 3.04 GAA and .904 save percentage on the season remain unimpressive.

Koskinen is the expected starter Saturday against New Jersey, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen will be looking for his fourth straight victory after rattling off home wins over Washington, Tampa Bay and Detroit. The opposing Devils have been rather road-weary this season, as evidenced by their 8-20-2 away record.

Koskinen made 30 saves on 35 shots in a 7-5 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen has now won three straight contests, thanks in part not just to stellar offensive performances from the Oilers. The 33-year-old has been pretty dependable since returning from an extended COVID-19 absence, with a 6-1-1 record in eight starts since.

Koskinen will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen took down the Lightning on Saturday, making 31 saves in a 4-1 win. He'll be rewarded with a fourth straight start, and it's his second game since Mike Smith returned from an illness. Koskinen has posted a 3.33 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 16 home outings this season, but the Red Wings enter Tuesday on a five-game losing streak.

Koskinen stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen took a shutout into the third period, but Zach Bogosian spoiled it. This was still a strong win for Koskinen, who has gone 5-1-1 across his last eight appearances. The 33-year-old is now 21-9-3 with a 2.98 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 34 appearances this season. Mike Smith (illness) returned to back up Koskinen on Saturday, and the two will likely split the goaltending duties going forward.
