Koskinen will guard the road goal during Saturday's matinee matchup versus the Panthers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen was solid in his last start last Saturday against the Jets, stopping 22 of 24 shots en route to a 4-2 victory. He'll try to secure his 18th win of the season in a daunting road matchup with a Florida team that's 23-5-0 at home this season.

Koskinen surrendered three goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Smith couldn't get through the first period, and Koskinen was only marginally better in the balance of the rest of the game. This was Koskinen's second outing since a stint in the COVID-19 protocols. The 33-year-old netminder remains at 17-8-2, though his GAA rose to 3.13 and his save percentage dipped to .899 in 28 outings. The Oilers begin a tough road trip versus the Lightning on Wednesday -- a starting goalie for that contest has yet to be announced.

Koskinen made 22 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

He took a shutout into the third period, eventually getting beaten by Adam Lowry for a short-handed tally with a little less than 10 minutes remaining, but Connor McDavid and the Oilers had already built a 3-0 lead by that point. It was Koskinen's first action since Feb. 2 due to a stint in the COVID-19 protocols, and on the season he sports a 17-8-2 record that masks a less impressive 3.11 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Koskinen will start between the pipes Saturday in Winnipeg, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen has posted a 7-6-2 record with a 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage over his last 15 appearances. Saturday will mark the 33-year-old's first start since clearing the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday. At home, Winnipeg has gone 13-9-1 while averaging 33 shots on goal and 3.30 goals for. Koskinen stopped 22 of 26 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to the Jets on Nov. 16.

Koskinen was activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen will presumably be an option for Thursday's game against Anaheim after missing a little over a week of action due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. The 33-year-old vet has goine 16-8-2 while posting a 3.15 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 26 appearances this year.

Koskinen (COVID-19 protocols) won't travel with the Oilers on their trip to California due to border restrictions, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen entered the virus protocols Monday, and he wouldn't be able to go home with the Oilers after the trip due to Canada's border restrictions. As such, the Finn will be out until Feb. 17 versus the Ducks at the earliest. Mike Smith and Stuart Skinner will handle the goaltending duties for the next three games.

Koskinen was placed in COVID-19 protocols Monday, Jason Gregor of TSN 1260 Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonton just got Mike Smith (thumb) back from IR, and the veteran netminder will immediately be pressed into action Tuesday against the Golden Knights. Gregor adds that the Oilers are expected to recall Stuart Skinner from the AHL, and Skinner will likely get the nod for Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks if Koskinen doesn't make a speedy recovery by then.

Koskinen made 24 saves in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen was spotted an early 3-0 lead against the Alex Ovechkin-less (COVID-19 protocols) Capitals, but he allowed Washington to score once in each period to tie the game. Edmonton answered back with a pair of goals late, and Koskinen didn't give up another to improve to 4-0-1 in his last five starts. He's 16-8-2 with a 3.15 GAA and .900 save percentage at the All-Star break; those lackluster ratios could prompt the Oilers to try to acquire another option in net to supplant Koskinen as the starter.

Koskinen will defend the blue paint Wednesday on the road against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen has gone 3-5-2 with a 3.42 GAA and an .884 save percentage over his last 10 appearances. The 33-year-old is coming off a 3-2 overtime defeat to Ottawa on Monday where he stopped 28 of 31 shots. At home this season, the Capitals have gone 12-7-5 while averaging 31.6 shots on goal. Washington is coming off a 4-3 overtime victory versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Koskinen made 28 saves on 31 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Koskinen could not quite keep his winning streak alive in this one, though he is still unbeaten in regulation since allowing six goals Jan. 20 against the Panthers. The 33-year-old netminder is 15-8-2 with a 3.16 GAA and .900 save percentgage.
