Skinner stopped 25 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.

Skinner turned aside 24 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.

Skinner stopped 32 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner got off to a rocky start, allowing two goals in the opening five minutes. He settled down quickly, and the Oilers rallied with two goals from Zach Hyman and a game-winning tally by Connor McDavid. Skinner has won three of his last five outings despite allowing 18 goals in that span. He's up to 27-13-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 43 appearances. The Oilers have a back-to-back up next -- they visit the Kraken on Saturday before hosting the Penguins on Sunday. Skinner and Calvin Pickard are likely to split those contests.

Skinner is slated to start at home against St. Louis on Wednesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has a 26-13-2 record, 2.70 GAA and .903 save percentage in 42 outings this campaign. He saved 38 of 40 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over LA in his last start Monday. St. Louis, which is tied for 24th offensively with 2.88 goals per game, should be a favorable matchup for Skinner.

Skinner stopped 38 of 40 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner allowed two goals in the first half of the game but ended up kicking aside the remaining 24 shots fired his way. He stopped all five power-play shots by the Kings and finished with a .950 save percentage for the game. It was a strong performance after Skinner lost his past two games and didn't finish above a .900 save percentage in his past six games. While Skinner's recent performance is concerning, it's important to remember his earlier success and potential -- especially with a strong offense in front of him.
