Skinner turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner allowed an Auston Matthews goal 27 seconds into the opening period before Morgan Rielly scored in the second to put Edmonton in a 2-0 hole. However, Skinner would rebound to hold the Leafs scoreless for the remainder of the contest while Edmonton rallied for four unanswered goals to claim a 4-2 victory. It's the eighth straight win for the 25-year-old netminder, who's posted a stellar .948 save percentage in that span. Overall, Skinner's now 19-9-1 on the season with a .903 save percentage and 2.61 GAA.

Skinner will tend the home twine versus Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is riding a seven-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.41 GAA and a .951 save percentage. The netminder's win streak will certainly be put to the test as Auston Matthews and the Leafs come to town, a club the 25-year-old Skinner has faced just twice in his career but is 1-1 against despite a 4.04 GAA.

Skinner kicked out 23 of 24 shots in a 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a Cole Caufield power-play goal before two minutes had elapsed in the first period, but the Canadiens couldn't get anything past Skinner for the remainder of the game. He stopped the next 22 shots and finished with a .958 save percentage on the night. Skinner has started seven of the last nine games for Edmonton and hasn't had a save percentage below .900 since Dec. 19. The Oilers play the high-powered Maple Leafs on Tuesday so he'll likely be back in net.

Skinner stopped 25 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner earned his sixth straight win, though it was a tougher challenge than expected. The 25-year-old has allowed a total of nine goals during his winning streak, providing excellent goaltending for the Oilers. For the year, he improved to 17-9-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 28 contests overall. The Oilers' road trip continues Thursday in Detroit.

Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Chicago on Tuesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner is riding a five-game winning streak during which he has posted a 1.58 GAA and a .948 save percentage, including one shutout. The 25-year-old netminder has been performing well of late, which has seen him take a heavy dose of the workload. Having said that, a matchup with Detroit on Thursday could see backup netminder Calvin Pickard get the nod against his former club.

Skinner stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner kept the game scoreless for most of two periods before Zach Hyman's hat trick gave the Oilers enough offense to win. This was Skinner's fifth straight win, and he's allowed just eight goals in that span, which includes one shutout. The 25-year-old goalie improved to 16-9-1 with a 2.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 27 outings this season. He'll look to keep rolling as the Oilers set out on a three-game road trip in Chicago, Detroit and Montreal next week.

Skinner will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has won his last four starts, allowing a total of seven goals in that span. The 25-year-old is in a groove as the Oilers' No. 1 netminder. The Senators have scored 11 times over their last four contests, but they've gone 1-3-0 in that span, making this a favorable matchup for Skinner.

Skinner stopped 35 of 37 shots in a 5-2 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton's core forwards might get the credit for this win, but Skinner certainly played a key role. It was the 25-year-old netminder's fourth straight win, and he's excelled during that stretch, posting a 1.72 GAA and a .944 save percentage. Skinner still has an unappealing 2.83 GAA and .895 save percentage in 26 outings this season, but that's due to his poor start to the campaign -- since Nov. 11, Skinner's 14-4-0 with a 2.37 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 18 appearances.

Skinner will guard the home goal versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been on a roll recently, stringing together three straight wins while posting an outstanding 1.63 GAA and .943 save percentage. He'll try to pick up his 15th victory of the season in a home matchup with a Philadelphia team that's averaging 3.20 goals per game on the road this year, 11th in the NHL.
