Skinner turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers lost Connor McDavid to a lower-body injury early in the first period, and the team never recovered. While Skinner was coming off a shutout of the Penguins on Friday, that was the only start this season in which he's given up fewer than three goals, leaving him with a shaky 3.51 GAA and .872 save percentage to go along with a 2-4-1 record.

Skinner posted a 27-save shutout in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner allowed fewer than three goals for the first time this season, as the Oilers' offense feasted on a porous Penguins defense. Skinner improved to 2-3-1 on the season, with a 3.06 GAA and an .890 save percentage after earning his fifth career shutout. The 25-year-old's role as Edmonton's top goalie hasn't been in doubt amid the team's rocky October, but his performance hasn't been great. The Oilers begin a four-game road trip in Detroit on Sunday.

Skinner will protect the home goal versus the Penguins on Friday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has won just one of his five outings this season, going 1-3-1 with a 3.74 GAA and an .866 save percentage. The 25-year-old will get a decent matchup Friday, as the Penguins have scored just seven goals over their last three games while also showing a leaky defense that could ignite the Oilers' offense.

Skinner stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has won just one of his first five outings of the season, and he was just seven seconds away from forcing a shootout before Sebastian Aho's game-winning goal changed his plans. Skinner has posted a save percentage below the .910 mark and has allowed at least three goals in each of his five appearances this season, so he's certainly struggled mightily in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign.

Skinner stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Dallas, with the Stars' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder held Dallas scoreless for nearly two periods, but Matt Duchene opened the scoring on the power play with 26 seconds left in the second, and Edmonton fell apart in the third. Skinner has given up exactly three goals in three straight starts, and he's had a bumpy beginning to the season overall with a 1-3-0 record, 4.04 GAA and .851 save percentage.

Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas on Saturday, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner picked up his first win of the season Tuesday, turning aside 27 shots in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia. The netminder is off to a slow start, as he is 1-2-0 with a 4.43 GAA and an .845 save percentage. The good news is that Skinner got off to an equally bad start in 2023-24, starting the year 1-5-1 with a 3.87 GAA and an .854 save percentage, before rebounding to finish the season with a 36-16-5 mark, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage. He will face the Stars, who are 4-1-0 to start the season, finding the back of the net on 14 occasions.

Skinner stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner did just enough in the third period to let the Oilers get back into the game. While he's allowed at least three goals in each of his three starts, he improved to 1-2-0 with this victory. The Oilers' offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders yet, but it should be easier for Skinner to collect wins once that happens more consistently. Their next two games are on the road, with stops Thursday in Nashville and Saturday in Dallas.

Skinner will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home matchup against the Flyers, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough start to the season for Skinner and the Oilers alike -- the 25-year-old has made just 33 saves on 41 shots across two contests, and the club is 0-3-0. Skinner will face a Philadelphia squad that's scored five goals through two games. The Alberta native is coming off a career year that saw him post a 36-16-5 record, .905 save percentage and 2.62 GAA over 59 regular-season appearances.
