Skinner stopped 30 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner had a rough second period, and while the Oilers recovered from that, they never gave him a lead to protect. Over his last six outings, Skinner has gone 2-3-1 with 23 goals allowed on 178 shots. The 25-year-old is at 25-12-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .903 save percentage. His strong January is quickly fading into memory, though playing behind an offense as strong as the Oilers will continue to give him a chance to win in most starts.

Skinner is slated to start at home against Boston on Wednesday, per Tom Gazzola of TSN 1260.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins, who rank 13th offensively with 3.32 goals per game, present a difficult assignment, especially for a struggling goaltender like Skinner. The 25-year-old netminder has posted a 3.80 GAA and an .872 save percentage over his last four starts, though Edmonton's strong forward corps resulted in the Oilers still winning two of those contests. Skinner has a 25-12-1 record, 2.57 GAA and .906 save percentage through 39 outings in 2023-24.

Skinner allowed three goals on 25 Arizona shots in Monday's 6-3 win.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is 2-2-0 in his last four starts but has hit something of a rough patch. He's allowed at least three goals in each of the last four games. He could certainly get back to the impressive play he displayed during the Oilers' lengthy win streak, but it's hard to trust a goaltender with an .872 save percentage in his last four starts.

Skinner will defend the blue paint in Monday's road game versus the Coyotes, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner struggled in his last start Thursday against the Blues, surrendering five goals on only 29 shots en route to a 6-3 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a middling road matchup with a Coyotes squad that's averaging 3.08 goals per game at home this year, 17th in the NHL.

Skinner allowed five goals on 29 St. Louis shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was outstanding during Edmonton's impressive winning streak. However, he's hit a speed bump in February. He's 1-3-0 in his last four starts, over which he has allowed 14 goals for an .880 save percentage. His season-long stats suggest the slump won't last, but it's hard to trust a goalie when their numbers look like that.

Skinner is expected to patrol the blue paint on the road against St. Louis on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has come back down to earth in his last two outings, posting a 3.59 GAA and .889 save percentage, though he still managed to go 1-1-0 over that stretch. Despite the slight blip on the radar, Skinner continues to see the majority of the workload for the Oilers and figures to remain the preferred choice between the pipes the rest of the way.

Skinner stopped 34 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

The game was tied 3-3 after two periods, with Skinner and the Oilers struggling in the middle frame. They had the better of the third, allowing Skinner to snap his two-game skid with a victory. The 25-year-old has allowed 10 goals over his last four outings, a return to more average play after he was nearly unbeatable in January. On the season, he's gone 24-11-1 with a 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 37 contests. The Oilers set out on a three-game road trip next, with the first stop in St. Louis on Thursday.

Skinner is on track to guard the home goal against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was a little shaky in his last start Saturday against the Kings, surrendering three goals on only 25 shots en route to a 4-0 defeat. He'll try to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a home matchup with a Detroit team that's won three of its last four contests, racking up 14 goals over that span.

Skinner stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner and David Rittich had a goaltending duel in the first period, but the Kings' offense showed up over the final 40 minutes. Skinner has followed up a 12-game winning streak with losses in his last two outings, though he's received just a single goal of support in those defeats. He dropped to 23-11-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 36 appearances. Skinner's recent success means the No. 1 job is his to lose, and he should have plenty of runway to get things turned around.

Skinner is set to start on the road versus LA on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner saved 23 of 25 shots against Vegas on Tuesday, but his 12-game winning streak still came to an end due to a lack of goal support. He has a 23-10-1 record, 2.43 GAA and .910 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2023-24. The Kings have been in a freefall, posting a 3-8-6 record over their last 17 outings, so this should be a favorable matchup for Skinner.
