Skinner stopped 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner stepped up with a strong start, and the Oilers' offense rewarded him with stellar goal support with their season on the line. Despite this strong game, Skinner has given up 10 goals over four contests in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Oilers are down 3-1 in the series and face a steep challenge, but it looks like the 25-year-old will be between the pipes the rest of the way.

Skinner is expected to start at home against Florida in Game 4 on Saturday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner lost the first three contests of the Stanley Cup Finals while stopping 59 of 68 shots (.868 save percentage). He has an 11-8 record, 2.59 GAA and .893 save percentage across 19 postseason outings this year. He hasn't endured a personal losing streak longer than three contests in the regular season or playoffs in 2023-24.

Skinner allowed four goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner brought some of his trouble on himself, as one of the Panthers' goals in the second period came from his own turnover. They scored three times in a span of 6:19 in the middle frame, and the Oilers' comeback fell short, leaving Skinner with a third straight loss. He's 11-8 with a 2.59 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 playoff contests. The Oilers face a herculean task to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals, but there's been no talk of Calvin Pickard getting a start, so it seems head coach Kris Knoblauch will ride with Skinner to the end.

Skinner will protect the home goal versus the Panthers in Thursday's Game 3, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has let in five goals on 45 shots over the first two games of the series, but he'll stay between the pipes for the first contest in Edmonton. The fact that he hasn't let in more than three goals in nine of his last 10 contests is a positive, but the Oilers have just one tally over two games in the Stanley Cup Finals, so Skinner will need more support.

Skinner stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to Florida in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner didn't have much support in front of him in Game 2 -- the Oilers had seven shots on goal through the first two frames. It was only the second time in his last 10 outings that Skinner has allowed more than two goals in a contest. The 25-year-old has an .886 save percentage through two games in this series, though Edmonton hasn't been able to provide the netminder with offensive support (one goal over two games). The last time Skinner lost consecutive contests in the postseason, he rebounded with three straight wins -- the Oilers will need that trend to continue when they head back to Edmonton for Game 3 on Thursday. Skinner is 11-7 with a 2.51 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 18 playoff appearances.

Skinner is expected to tend the road twine against the Panthers in Game 2 on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner gave up just two goals in Game 1, his eighth time allowing two or fewer goals in the Oilers' last nine contests, but registered a subpar .882 save percentage after facing a mere 17 shots. Edmonton has allowed more than 25 shots in only two of those nine contests, so fantasy managers should expect Skinner to continue facing a light workload.

Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner had the lighter workload of the two goalies, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood on his head while the Panthers got a goal in each period. The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his last nine games, going 6-3 in that span. He's now 11-6 with a 2.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 playoff appearances. Game 2 is in Florida on Monday, and it's likely Skinner will get the start since he can't be blamed for the series-opening loss.

Skinner will guard the road net in Game 1 against Florida on Saturday, Ryan Frankson of the Oilers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has stopped 72 of 76 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has posted a record of 11-5 with a 2.50 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 16 appearances this postseason. The Panthers rank fourth in the 2024 playoffs with 3.24 goals per game.

Skinner allowed one goal on 35 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers scored twice on their 10 shots, and Skinner made sure that was enough to win with one of his best performances of the playoffs. This was just the second time the Stars were able to put up 30-plus shots, but Skinner won both of those contests. He's now 11-5 with a 2.50 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 16 contests. Skinner is almost certain to be between the pipes for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals versus the Panthers on Saturday in Florida.

Skinner will face the Stars at home for Game 6 on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has won two straight games to put the Oilers up 3-2 over Dallas. In those two victories, he stopped a combined 39 of 42 shots. He's struggled at times this postseason and has an .890 save percentage through 15 playoff appearances. However, he's been much better against the Stars, posting a 2.08 GAA and .908 save percentage through five contests.
