Skinner stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has alternated strong and poor starts in the second round. This was the second time he's managed to limit the Golden Knights to a single goal, but he's given up nine tallies over his other two appearances. The 24-year-old netminder is now 5-4 in the postseason despite a lackluster .895 save percentage. It appears he still has the trust of head coach Jay Woodcroft, so expect Skinner to start Game 5 in Vegas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will attempt to bounce back after allowing four goals on 23 shots in Monday's 5-1 Game 3 loss to the Golden Knights. He has a 4-4 record, 3.60 GAA and .888 save percentage in nine playoff appearances this year. Vegas has averaged 3.88 goals per game in the 2023 postseason.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonton struck first, but Vegas rattled off five unanswered goals, with Skinner yielding four of them before Jack Campbell replaced him just over halfway into the second period. This poor outing came on the heels of Skinner's best playoff performance so far, a 30-save effort in a Game 2 win. The 24-year-old has given up at least four goals in three of his last four contests, so his hold on the starting job may be a bit more tenuous than it was at the start of the second round.

The Oilers set the tone with special-teams play in the first period, and Skinner was mostly able to coast to the win.

He should get the nod again for Game 3 in Edmonton on Monday.
