Skinner stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was between the pipes for 12 of Edmonton's 16 games during their winning streak, but he was handed his first loss since Dec. 19 in this contest. The 25-year-old still put in a good effort -- he hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his last 12 appearances. Skinner dropped to 23-10-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 35 contests. The Oilers next two games are in a back-to-back set versus Anaheim on Friday and Los Angeles on Saturday. Skinner and Calvin Pickard are likely to each get a start during that two-game stretch.

EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been unstoppable since late December, racking up 12 straight wins while posting an exceptional 1.41 GAA and .950 save percentage. He'll try to secure his 24th victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a Vegas team that's 18-5-2 at home this year.

Skinner made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Colton Sissons batted a puck out of midair midway through the third period to spoil Skinner's shutout bid. Skinner's still the hottest goalie in the league -- the 25-year-old has won 12 straight starts and allowed two goals or fewer in 11 straight, posting a 1.41 GAA and .950 save percentage over the course of the winning streak. The Oilers have won 16 straight as a team, one short of the NHL record, and Skinner will put himself in the Vezina conversation if he stays locked in after the All-Star break.

Skinner is expected to start at home against Nashville on Saturday, per Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been among the most dominant goaltenders recently, winning his last 11 games while saving 296 of 312 shots (.949 save percentage). That's helped him overcome his rough start to the 2023-24 campaign, resulting in a 22-9-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .908 save percentage through 33 appearances. The Predators rank 18th offensively with 3.02 goals per game, so this will be a somewhat favorable matchup for Skinner.

Only a Dmitri Voronkov tally got past Skinner as the Oilers' winning streak reached 14 games Tuesday. Skinner is up to 22-9-1 with a 2.49 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. The Oilers' next contest is at home Thursday versus the Blackhawks.

Skinner stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
It was a record setting night for Skinner and the Oilers. Not only was it his 10th straight win, but it tied a club-record with the legendary Grant Fuhr. The team also continues to build on their record-setting winning streak, claiming a record at 13 for a Canadian franchise. Skinner's only blemish on the night came on a MacKenzie Weegar odd-man rush that was wristed above his glove. During his winning streak, Skinner has allowed two goals or less for all but one game. He looks to get his 11th straight when the Oilers host the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Skinner stopped 25 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 victory over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Nine straight wins and counting for Skinner. He allowed two goals midway through the first period, both on breakaways by Eeli Tolvanen and Jared McCann, that he had little chance on. The Kraken could not get a puck by him for the remainder of the night as he stopped the remaining 20 shots on net. Skinner looks to get a 10th straight win on Saturday when the Oilers face their provincial rivals in the Battle of Alberta.

Skinner was 1-5-1 with a 3.87 GAA and an .854 save percentage in his first eight appearances through Nov. 9, but he has gone 18-4-0 with a 2.16 GAA and a .920 save percentage since Nov. 11. Skinner will take on the Kraken, who have lost their last two games after winning the previous eight in a row.
