Skinner is expected to start at home against Nashville on Saturday, per Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been among the most dominant goaltenders recently, winning his last 11 games while saving 296 of 312 shots (.949 save percentage). That's helped him overcome his rough start to the 2023-24 campaign, resulting in a 22-9-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .908 save percentage through 33 appearances. The Predators rank 18th offensively with 3.02 goals per game, so this will be a somewhat favorable matchup for Skinner.

Only a Dmitri Voronkov tally got past Skinner as the Oilers' winning streak reached 14 games Tuesday. Skinner is up to 22-9-1 with a 2.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. The Oilers' next contest is at home Thursday versus the Blackhawks.

Skinner stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
It was a record setting night for Skinner and the Oilers. Not only was it his 10th straight win, but it tied a club-record with the legendary Grant Fuhr. The team also continues to build on their record-setting winning streak, claiming a record at 13 for a Canadian franchise. Skinner's only blemish on the night came on a MacKenzie Weegar odd-man rush that was wristed above his glove. During his winning streak, Skinner has allowed two goals or less for all but one game. He looks to get his 11th straight when the Oilers host the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Skinner stopped 25 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 victory over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Nine straight wins and counting for Skinner. He allowed two goals midway through the first period, both on breakaways by Eeli Tolvanen and Jared McCann, that he had little chance on. The Kraken could not get a puck by him for the remainder of the night as he stopped the remaining 20 shots on net. Skinner looks to get a 10th straight win on Saturday when the Oilers face their provincial rivals in the Battle of Alberta.

Skinner turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner allowed an Auston Matthews goal 27 seconds into the opening period before Morgan Rielly scored in the second to put Edmonton in a 2-0 hole. However, Skinner would rebound to hold the Leafs scoreless for the remainder of the contest while Edmonton rallied for four unanswered goals to claim a 4-2 victory. It's the eighth straight win for the 25-year-old netminder, who's posted a stellar .948 save percentage in that span. Overall, Skinner's now 19-9-1 on the season with a .903 save percentage and 2.61 GAA.

Skinner will tend the home twine versus Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is riding a seven-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.41 GAA and a .951 save percentage. The netminder's win streak will certainly be put to the test as Auston Matthews and the Leafs come to town, a club the 25-year-old Skinner has faced just twice in his career but is 1-1 against despite a 4.04 GAA.

Skinner kicked out 23 of 24 shots in a 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a Cole Caufield power-play goal before two minutes had elapsed in the first period, but the Canadiens couldn't get anything past Skinner for the remainder of the game. He stopped the next 22 shots and finished with a .958 save percentage on the night. Skinner has started seven of the last nine games for Edmonton and hasn't had a save percentage below .900 since Dec. 19. The Oilers play the high-powered Maple Leafs on Tuesday so he'll likely be back in net.
