Koskinen made 26 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He was beaten by Anders Lee on a first period power play and then early in the third by Anthony Beauvillier to knot the game at two. Noah Dobson then broke in untouched in OT and wired a sensational wrister past Koskinen for the Isles' winner. Edmonton has lost three straight games and Koskinen's personal losing streak stretches back to Dec. 5 (0-4-1).

Koskinen will patrol the crease during Saturday's road matchup with the Islanders, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen struggled in his last start Dec. 14 versus Toronto, surrendering five goals on 25 shots en route to a 5-1 defeat. He'll try to shake off that poor performance and snap his four-game losing streak in a road matchup with an Isles team that's averaging just 2.38 goals per game at home this season, 26th in the NHL.

Koskinen and the Oilers won't play Calgary on Monday due to COVID-19 postponements.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton is scheduled to play the Blues on Wednesday but that game could be in jeopardy due to cross-border travel. Koskinen has allowed 17 goals during his current four-game losing streak.

Koskinen and the Oilers won't play their next three games after the NHL suspended cross-border travel.
EDGE Analysis
This latest round of postponements affect the Oilers' games Monday versus the Ducks, Wednesday versus the Kings and Thursday versus the Sharks. Koskinen has been shaky, losing his last four starts, so it's unclear if he'd be in line to start Dec. 27 versus the Flames.

Koskinen allowed five goals on 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen's losing skid hit four games with this lopsided loss. He's received a single goal of support from his Oilers teammates in each of those contests. Koskinen is now 12-6-0 with a 3.16 GAA and a .902 save percentage, with much of his early-season success evaporating. The Finn will continue to be the Oilers' No. 1 netminder, but Mike Smith (leg) is reportedly nearing a return after a lengthy absence.

Koskinen will guard the home goal during Tuesday's matchup with the Maple Leafs, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen has struggled recently, suffering three straight losses while posting a sub-par 4.06 GAA and .876 save percentage. The 33-year-old goaltender will try to start righting the ship in a home matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.25 goals per game on the road this campaign, seventh in the NHL.

EDGE Analysis
Koskinen couldn't snap his skid, as he's now yielded 12 goals while losing his last three starts. The Finn slipped to 12-5-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 17 games overall. The 33-year-old will have another tough challenge on tap if he draws the start Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs.

Koskinen will defend the blue paint during Saturday's home game versus Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Koskinen has struggled recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Kings and the Wild while posting a sub-par 4.50 GAA and .864 save percentage. He'll try to get back on track and secure his 13th win of the year in a tough home matchup with a Hurricanes team that's 11-3-1 on the road this season.

Koskinen allowed four goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers have lost three in a row, with Koskinen in net for two of those defeats. He's allowed nine goals in his last two games, while the offense has given him just two goals of support. The 33-year-old is down to 12-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 16 appearances. Koskinen will likely improve as the Oilers get some of the injured blueliners back, but his near-term outlook remains murky. The Oilers host the Bruins, Hurricanes and Maple Leafs in their next three games.
