Skinner will defend the blue paint in Monday's road game versus the Coyotes, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner struggled in his last start Thursday against the Blues, surrendering five goals on only 29 shots en route to a 6-3 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a middling road matchup with a Coyotes squad that's averaging 3.08 goals per game at home this year, 17th in the NHL.

Skinner allowed five goals on 29 St. Louis shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was outstanding during Edmonton's impressive winning streak. However, he's hit a speed bump in February. He's 1-3-0 in his last four starts, over which he has allowed 14 goals for an .880 save percentage. His season-long stats suggest the slump won't last, but it's hard to trust a goalie when their numbers look like that.

Skinner is expected to patrol the blue paint on the road against St. Louis on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has come back down to earth in his last two outings, posting a 3.59 GAA and .889 save percentage, though he still managed to go 1-1-0 over that stretch. Despite the slight blip on the radar, Skinner continues to see the majority of the workload for the Oilers and figures to remain the preferred choice between the pipes the rest of the way.

Skinner stopped 34 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The game was tied 3-3 after two periods, with Skinner and the Oilers struggling in the middle frame. They had the better of the third, allowing Skinner to snap his two-game skid with a victory. The 25-year-old has allowed 10 goals over his last four outings, a return to more average play after he was nearly unbeatable in January. On the season, he's gone 24-11-1 with a 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 37 contests. The Oilers set out on a three-game road trip next, with the first stop in St. Louis on Thursday.

Skinner is on track to guard the home goal against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was a little shaky in his last start Saturday against the Kings, surrendering three goals on only 25 shots en route to a 4-0 defeat. He'll try to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a home matchup with a Detroit team that's won three of its last four contests, racking up 14 goals over that span.

Skinner stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner and David Rittich had a goaltending duel in the first period, but the Kings' offense showed up over the final 40 minutes. Skinner has followed up a 12-game winning streak with losses in his last two outings, though he's received just a single goal of support in those defeats. He dropped to 23-11-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 36 appearances. Skinner's recent success means the No. 1 job is his to lose, and he should have plenty of runway to get things turned around.

Skinner is set to start on the road versus LA on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner saved 23 of 25 shots against Vegas on Tuesday, but his 12-game winning streak still came to an end due to a lack of goal support. He has a 23-10-1 record, 2.43 GAA and .910 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2023-24. The Kings have been in a freefall, posting a 3-8-6 record over their last 17 outings, so this should be a favorable matchup for Skinner.

Skinner stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was between the pipes for 12 of Edmonton's 16 games during their winning streak, but he was handed his first loss since Dec. 19 in this contest. The 25-year-old still put in a good effort -- he hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his last 12 appearances. Skinner dropped to 23-10-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 35 contests. The Oilers next two games are in a back-to-back set versus Anaheim on Friday and Los Angeles on Saturday. Skinner and Calvin Pickard are likely to each get a start during that two-game stretch.

Skinner will patrol the road crease during Tuesday's matchup with the Golden Knights, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been unstoppable since late December, racking up 12 straight wins while posting an exceptional 1.41 GAA and .950 save percentage. He'll try to secure his 24th victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a Vegas team that's 18-5-2 at home this year.

Skinner made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Colton Sissons batted a puck out of midair midway through the third period to spoil Skinner's shutout bid. Skinner's still the hottest goalie in the league -- the 25-year-old has won 12 straight starts and allowed two goals or fewer in 11 straight, posting a 1.41 GAA and .950 save percentage over the course of the winning streak. The Oilers have won 16 straight as a team, one short of the NHL record, and Skinner will put himself in the Vezina conversation if he stays locked in after the All-Star break.
