Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Chicago on Tuesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is riding a five-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.58 GAA and a .948 save percentage, including one shutout. The 25-year-old netminder has been performing well of late, which has seen him take a heavy dose of the workload. Having said that, a matchup with Detroit on Thursday could see backup netminder Calvin Pickard get the nod against his former club.

Skinner stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner kept the game scoreless for most of two periods before Zach Hyman's hat trick gave the Oilers enough offense to win. This was Skinner's fifth straight win, and he's allowed just eight goals in that span, which includes one shutout. The 25-year-old goalie improved to 16-9-1 with a 2.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 27 outings this season. He'll look to keep rolling as the Oilers set out on a three-game road trip in Chicago, Detroit and Montreal next week.

Skinner will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has won his last four starts, allowing a total of seven goals in that span. The 25-year-old is in a groove as the Oilers' No. 1 netminder. The Senators have scored 11 times over their last four contests, but they've gone 1-3-0 in that span, making this a favorable matchup for Skinner.

Skinner stopped 35 of 37 shots in a 5-2 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton's core forwards might get the credit for this win, but Skinner certainly played a key role. It was the 25-year-old netminder's fourth straight win, and he's excelled during that stretch, posting a 1.72 GAA and a .944 save percentage. Skinner still has an unappealing 2.83 GAA and .895 save percentage in 26 outings this season, but that's due to his poor start to the campaign -- since Nov. 11, Skinner's 14-4-0 with a 2.37 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 18 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been on a roll recently, stringing together three straight wins while posting an outstanding 1.63 GAA and .943 save percentage. He'll try to pick up his 15th victory of the season in a home matchup with a Philadelphia team that's averaging 3.20 goals per game on the road this year, 11th in the NHL.

Skinner turned aside 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings scored twice in the first period, but Skinner didn't give up anything else until he let in two shootout attempts. Luckily for him, the Oilers converted on three of their four tries to secure the win. Skinner has allowed a total of five goals during his three-game winning streak, with all of those victories coming on the road. He's up to 14-9-1 with a 2.86 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 25 outings this season, though he's definitely trending in the right direction. The Oilers are back in action Sunday in Anaheim, which will likely be a start for Calvin Pickard.

Skinner will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is coming off of a 25-save shutout win over the Sharks on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder will face a much more significant test Saturday, as the Kings have scored 17 goals over their last five games.

Skinner posted a 25-save shutout in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers were all over rookie goalie Magnus Chrona in the first period, allowing Skinner to cruise to the win. Skinner has won five of his seven outings in December, and this was his third game with one goal against or less in that span. He's up to 13-9-1 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 24 appearances. The Oilers have a back-to-back up next with games in Los Angeles on Saturday and in Anaheim on Sunday, so Skinner and Calvin Pickard are likely to split the starts.
