Skinner stopped 39 of 40 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The score looked lopsided, but the Hurricanes still got their chances, with Skinner denying all but a Jordan Staal tally in the third period. This was Skinner's fifth straight win, and he's allowed a total of eight goals on 141 shots in that span, rebounding nicely from a bad start to the campaign. He's up to a 9-7-1 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 18 games overall. The Oilers host the similarly surging Wild on Friday in a battle of teams benefiting from a coaching change.

Skinner will guard the home goal versus the Hurricanes on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner won his last four starts heading into the Oilers' five-day break, allowing seven goals on 101 shots in that span. The 25-year-old has stabilized after a rough start to the season, making him a strong fantasy play, especially when the team in front of him looks to be back to its usual high level of offense.

Skinner stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Cole Perfetti's power-play goal in the first period was the lone blemish on Skinner's line Thursday, as the Oilers rallied late for a fourth straight victory. The 25-year-old netminder has been playing better after a shaky start to the season -- he's allowed two goals or fewer in three of his last four starts. Skinner's now 8-7-1 with an .881 save percentage and 3.16 GAA on the campaign. He'll likely be back between the pipes Wednesday for a home matchup with the Hurricanes.

Skinner allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner got the win in the end, but it came after giving up two goals over 4:22 in the third period to let the Golden Knights back in the battle.

Skinner is up to 7-7-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .876 save percentage through 16 appearances.

Skinner stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-2-0 with nine goals allowed and a shutout win during the Oilers' four-game road trip, Skinner was solid on home ice. He also got plenty of help, with the Oilers scoring the last six goals of the game. The 25-year-old has turned things around with five wins in his last seven outings, improving to 6-7-1 on the year with a 3.28 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 15 appearances. Edmonton's next game is Tuesday at home versus the Golden Knights in what figures to be a challenging matchup in a rematch of last year's second-round playoff series.

Skinner will get the starting nod at home against the Ducks, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is coming off his first shutout of the year, stopping all 25 shots in Friday's win over Washington. In his previous two outings, he was tagged with nine goals on just 35 shots. For the season, he's gone 5-7-1 with a lackluster 3.37 GAA and .875 save percentage across 14 appearances.

Skinner made 25 saves in a 5-0 win over the Capitals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a great rebound for Skinner, who was pulled in the first period of a 6-3 loss to the Canes on Wednesday, when he gave up four goals on just 12 shots. Skinner's overall numbers are awful, but this effort showed a glimpse of the guy who was, at times, one of the NHL's best rookies last season. Keep an eye on him. He could serve you well from this point forward.
