Skinner stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kings in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was pulled in Game 4 on Sunday, but he bounced back with a solid effort to give the Oilers a 3-2 series lead. The 24-year-old gave up a pair of goals in the first period, but the Oilers were in control by the time he allowed the third tally in the third. He's surrendered 15 goals across five games, so he's been far from dominant, but Skinner remains the Oilers' top netminder. He'll likely start again Saturday in Game 6 with a chance to clinch the series.

Skinner will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 5 against Los Angeles, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will get a chance to bounce back after getting pulled from Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kings. He allowed three goals on 11 shots prior to being replaced by Jack Campbell following the first period. Campbell made 27 saves on 28 shots in relief to help Edmonton secure the comeback victory. Skinner has a 1-2 record this postseason, having permitted 12 goals on 101 shots.

Skinner allowed three goals on 11 shots before being pulled in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

All three of Skinner's goals came in the first period. Jack Campbell came out for the start of the second frame and was strong in net, allowing Edmonton to fight its way back into the contest. Skinner has struggled in the 2023 playoffs, posting a 3.38 GAA and an .881 save percentage over four outings, so perhaps Campbell will get the start in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Skinner will defend the road net Sunday in Game 4 against Los Angeles, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is coming off a 28-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings. He has a 1-2 record this postseason, allowing nine goals on 90 shots. Los Angeles has averaged 3.00 goals per game in the first round of the playoffs.

Skinner kicked out 28 of 31 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 3 on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Two of the three goals Skinner allowed were scored while the Kings were on the power play, including a marker to Trevor Moore in overtime. The 24-year-old goaltender has now surrendered nine goals on 90 shots in three playoff outings this year. That's far from ideal, but given that Jack Campbell had an ugly 3.41 GAA and .888 save percentage in 36 contests during the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Skinner, who had a 2.75 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 50 appearances in 2022-23, start again Sunday.

Skinner is slated to start on the road in Game 3 against LA on Friday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has won six of his last seven starts, allowing just 11 goals in that span. He finished the regular season with a 29-14-5 record, 2.75 GAA and .913 save percentage in 50 outings. The Kings were tied for the 10th-ranked offense with 3.34 goals per game during the 2022-23 campaign.

Skinner stopped 22 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers again blew a lead in this contest, giving up two goals in the second period. They bounced back in the third, and Skinner held his ground to even the series at 1-1. The 24-year-old netminder appears to have the reins as the Oilers' starting goalie. He'll look to turn in a similar effort in Friday's Game 3 in Los Angeles.

Skinner will be in goal against Los Angeles in Wednesday's Game 2 matchup at home, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will be looking to bounce back from his Game 1 performance in which he allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 save percentage) in a losing effort versus the Kings. Considering Skinner has played in 21 of the club's last 26 contests, he will likely be given some time to get back on track before the team would look to Jack Campbell to step in as his replacement.

Skinner stopped 31 of 35 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner and the Oilers were sharp early on, taking a 2-0 lead into the third period. The Kings then benefited from some penalties, cashing in one power play in the final minute of regulation and another at 9:19 of overtime to complete a comeback. It's a disappointing NHL postseason debut for Skinner, especially since he finished the regular season on a six-game winning streak. The 24-year-old's been good enough this year to have some leeway, so it seems likely he'll be between the pipes again Wednesday for Game 2.

Skinner will guard the home net Monday in Game 1 against Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner posted a 29-14-5 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 50 games during the regular season. He went 2-1-0 in four 2022-23 appearances versus the Kings, stopping 113 of 119 shots.
