Skinner stopped 33 of 35 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner received plenty of goal support, allowing him to overcome allowing two tallies to Artemi Panarin. Skinner has won four of his last six outings, but he's given up at least three goals in four of those contests. For the season, he improved to 7-6-2 with a 3.23 GAA and an .882 save percentage. The Oilers are off for the next five days, and they'll resume their schedule in Utah on Friday for the first half of a back-to-back that also features a game next Saturday in Colorado. Expect Skinner and Calvin Pickard to split those starts.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner had a tough outing Thursday as he gave up five goals on 26 shots in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota. The loss dropped Skinner's record to 6-6-2 with a 3.33 GAA and an .876 save percentage. Skinner is in tough as the Rangers are 12-5-1 and average 3.50 goals per game.

Skinner gave up five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

While this was just his second regulation loss in November, this was Skinner's worst outing of the month. The 26-year-old has not put together consistent performances and has yet to win more than two games in a row this season. He's now at a 6-6-2 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 14 appearances. Skinner's shaky play in goal could lead to more opportunities for Calvin Pickard moving forward, though he has been just slightly better in his eight games (2.44 GAA, .893 save percentage).

Skinner will be between the home pipes against Minnesota on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is undefeated in regulation over his last four outings, posting a 3-0-1 record to go with a 2.98 GAA and .871 save percentage. While the Oilers would undoubtedly prefer the netminder's save percentage was over .900, as long as he keeps earning standings points, he should maintain his spot as the No. 1 option ahead of Calvin Pickard.

Skinner made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

His teammates gave him a 3-1 lead in the first, and he never looked back. Skinner has had a rough start to 2024-25 and sits with a 6-5-2 record, 3.18 GAA and .881 save percentage. But he's gone 3-0-1 in his last four starts, and the Oilers are starting to surge a bit. Still, Skinner generally allows too many goals a game -- this was his third game in 13 starts this season with two or fewer goals allowed. He did turn last year around in a big way, so maybe he can do the same for 2024-25.

Skinner will tend the twine for Tuesday's road game at Ottawa, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Calvin Pickard already named the starter for Monday's matchup with Montreal, the decision to go with Skinner for the second game of the back-to-back shouldn't come as a surprise. While the 26-year-old Skinner has managed a 2-1-1 record in his last four outings, he's also given up at least three goals in each of those contests. Still, he figures to remain the No. 1 option in Edmonton unless Pickard can string together some strong performances.

Skinner made 18 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is best deployed with a big container of antacids. His game has been up and down (mostly down, it feels like), and his stat line of a 5-5-2 record, 3.28 GAA and .877 save percentage have hung like an anchor around most fantasy managers. Skinner found his groove last season after a horrendous start, so there's always hope. Hope's a crummy strategy, though. At some point, you are going to need to determine if you can live through a Skinner see-saw or not.

Skinner will get the start Saturday on the road against Toronto, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is 3-1-0 in his last four starts despite posting a mediocre .897 save percentage over that span. The 26-year-old netminder is 5-5-1 with an .881 save percentage and a 3.22 GAA on the season.

Skinner stopped 19 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner allowed three goals for the third start in a row, but he's won two of those efforts. He nearly had this one in regulation, but the Islanders overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period to force overtime. Skinner improved to 5-5-1, but his 3.22 GAA and .881 save percentage haven't inspired a lot of confidence in his play. He's yet to start four consecutive games, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod Thursday at home versus the Predators.

Skinner will tend the home twine versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner made 17 saves on 20 shots in a 7-3 win over Vancouver in his last start. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent through the early portion of the campaign, and over his last six appearances, he's alternated wins and losses. The 6-foot-4 netminder has posted a 4-5-1 record, .883 save percentage, 3.25 GAA and one shutout through 10 appearances. Skinner will face an Islanders squad that ranks 28th in the league with 2.47 goals per game over 15 contests.
