Koskinen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen gave up the tying goal with 1.8 seconds left in the third period, but Connor McDavid struck in overtime to secure the Oilers' win. This was Koskinen's first win in his last three outings. The Finnish netminder is now at 20-9-3 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 33 contests. It's unclear if Mike Smith (illness) will be ready to play by Saturday -- if not, Koskinen would likely draw a tough matchup against the Lightning.

Koskinen has gone 6-1-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last 10 appearances. The 33-year-old stopped 24 of 27 shots en route to a 5-3 victory over Washington on Feb. 2. As visitors, the Capitals have posted a 17-7-4 record while averaging 3.32 goals for and 30.9 shots on goal, ranking sixth and 16th, respectively.

Koskinen allowed three goals on 29 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
A rebound and a pair of odd-man rushes accounted for the goals against Koskinen, who was let down by his defense Monday. This was the Finn's second straight loss, and he's allowed seven goals on 61 shots in those games. The 33-year-old is at 19-9-3 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 33 outings. He'll likely start Wednesday versus the Capitals if Mike Smith (illness) isn't able to return.

Koskinen will get the starting nod in Calgary on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Stuart Skinner will serve as the backup with Mike Smith (illness) out. Koskinen is 19-8-3 this season with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage this season. The veteran netminder has been better recently, going 3-0-1 with a .924 save percentage over his last five outings. Monday will be Koskinen's second meeting with the Flames this season after he stopped 44 of 47 shots in a Jan. 22 victory.

Koskinen allowed four goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen gave up two goals in the first period but the Oilers erased a pair of one-goal deficits. Neither team scored in the second and after Chicago took a 3-2 lead early in the third, Evander Kane sent the game to overtime by scoring his second goal of the game in the final minute of regulation. Koskinen finally ran out of second chances in overtime, as Alex DeBrincat beat him for the game-winner, dropping Koskinen's record to 19-8-3.

Koskinen will start between the pipes Thursday in Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen is coming off his first shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday. He is currently on a personal four-game win streak. The 33-year-old has gone 7-1-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .914 save percentage over his last 10 appearances. Chicago has struggled at home, posting a 9-14-4 record alongside averages of 2.33 goals for and 30.9 shots on goal, ranking 32nd and 21st, respectively.

Koskinen posted a 39-save shutout in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen turned in his best start of the season Tuesday, though the Flyers have hardly been competitive lately. They didn't make it easy on the Finn, who earned his sixth career shutout and his first since the 2019-20 campaign. The 33-year-old improved to 19-8-2 with a 3.02 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 30 games. As long as Koskinen's getting wins, he's likely to see more starts for the Oilers as they remain in competition on the playoff bubble. Next up is Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Koskinen will be between the pipes against the Flyers on the road Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen is undefeated in regulation in his last eight appearances, which includes one relief outing. Over that stretch, the netminder is 6-0-1 with a decent 2.63 GAA. With all the Oilers' forward talent, the team will likely use whichever goalie can at least keep the game close enough for its star-studded offense to secure wins in an attempt to make the postseason. Right now, it appears that will be Koskinen for the time being.

Koskinen stopped 44 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old netminder came up with a number of key saves, keeping the game close when Florida threatened to blow out Edmonton in the first period and then preventing the Panthers from completing a comeback in the third. Koskinen is 6-0-1 over his last seven starts dating back to Jan. 22, and his play during that stretch has been better than his 3.13 GAA and .901 save percentage on the season would suggest.
