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.

Skinner allowed three goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner didn't perform well, but the Oilers' offense put up a season-high seven goals to lift him up. This was Skinner's third win in his last five outings, but he's allowed 14 goals in that span. He's now 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 10 starts. This was the first time he started consecutive games since a stretch of three straight starts from Oct. 19-25, but a pair of back-to-back sets in that span likely led to an increased workload for Calvin Pickard. The Oilers don't have any back-to-backs in the next week, and they'll be back in action at home Tuesday against the low-scoring Islanders.

Skinner will be between the visiting pipes in Vancouver on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner gave up three goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Vegas. The loss gave Skinner a 3-5-1 start, along with a 3.28 GAA and an .885 save percentage. Skinner also got off to a slow start last season before rebounding and ending the regular season with a 36-16-5 record, 2.62 GAA and .905 save percentage. He will not have an easy time with the Canucks, who are 7-2-3 this season, though they have struggled at home, going 1-1-3.

Skinner allowed three goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner had a 2-1 lead to protect going into the third period, but Noah Hanifin's pair of goals flipped it in favor of the Golden Knights. While it wasn't a poor start from Skinner, it was his third regulation loss in his last six games. He's now at a 3-5-1 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .885 save percentage through nine starts this season. The Oilers haven't strung together more than two consecutive wins all year, which has made it tough for both Skinner and Calvin Pickard to get into a rhythm. Their next game is Saturday in Vancouver.

Skinner will be between the pipes at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has struggled for consistency this season, posting a 3-4-1 record, 3.31 GAA and .881 save percentage in eight appearances. Considering Calvin Pickard's numbers -- 2.60 GAA and 3-2-0 record -- have been marginally better, the 26-year-old Skinner could see his opportunities start to dwindle in the coming days if he doesn't find his game.

Skinner stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers squandered a 2-0 lead, but Zach Hyman's go-ahead goal on the power play in the third period put them ahead for good. Skinner has yet to win consecutive contests this season, but he's earned a victory in two of his last three outings. He's now 3-4-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .881 save percentage over eight starts. Calvin Pickard will likely start Monday versus the Devils, but Skinner should be back between the pipes for Wednesday's Pacific Division showdown against the Golden Knights.

Skinner will defend the road net Sunday versus the Flames, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
EDGE Analysis
During his last outing, Skinner allowed six goals on 25 shots in a 6-1 loss to Columbus on Monday. He has a 2-4-1 record with one shutout, a 3.51 GAA and an .872 save percentage through seven appearances this campaign. Calgary sits 21st in the league with 2.91 goals per game in 2024-25.

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.
