Skinner stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers were missing Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stepped up with a hat trick to lead the charge. Skinner wasn't great between the pipes, but he had enough support to get the win, his fourth in his last seven outings. He's allowed four or more goals five times in 11 appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 26-year-old netminder improved to 24-17-4 with a 2.87 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 48 appearances. The Oilers are off until Wednesday, when they begin a back-to-back set with a home game versus the Stars, followed by Thursday's rematch with these Kraken in Seattle. Expect Skinner and Calvin Pickard to split those starts.

Skinner will patrol the home crease against Seattle on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner stopped 13 of 16 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg before leaving the game due to a concussion spotter. However, he won't miss any additional action. Skinner has a 23-17-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.85 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 47 appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 14th in the league with 2.97 goals per game in 2024-25.

Skinner (concussion) will be available if called upon against the Kraken at home Saturday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Kris Knoblauch wouldn't confirm whether he was going to use Skinner or Calvin Pickard in goal Saturday but at least Skinner is an option. Over his last 11 outings, the 26-year-old Skinner is just 3-5-0 with a .872 save percentage while Pickard is 2-0-1 in his last three. Without Connor McDavid (lower body) or Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) versus Seattle, the Oilers will need to rely heavily on their backstop Saturday.

Skinner was hurt in a third-period collision versus the Jets on Thursday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. Head coach Kris Knoblauch added that Skinner was pulled by the concussion spotter, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner's injury occurred late in the contest, so it's not yet known if he's officially suffered a concussion. He allowed three goals on 16 shots prior the injury, though he didn't end up taking a result as the Jets won the game in overtime. Skinner joins Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body) as players in doubt to play Saturday versus the Kraken. Should Skinner miss any length of time, Calvin Pickard will operate as the No. 1 netminder.

Skinner is expected to defend the home crease against the Jets on Thursday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Calvin Pickard has started two of the Oilers' last three games, Skinner will return to the net at home Thursday. Skinner has had mixed results recently, going 3-2-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .891 save percentage over his last five starts.

Skinner stopped 21 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner put an end to a two-game skid after losing to the Sabres and Devils earlier in the road trip. The 26-year-old limited the damage to a Will Cuylle goal on a broken play at the net front in the second period. Skinner improved to 23-17-4 with a 2.84 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 46 outings this season. The Oilers open a four-game homestand Tuesday versus Utah.

Skinner will defend the road net against the Rangers on Sunday, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has lost his last two outings, surrendering six goals on 45 shots. He has a 22-17-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.88 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 45 appearances this season. The Rangers sit 13th in the league with 3.01 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 4-0 win over Columbus on Saturday.

Skinner stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner didn't look good in this game against a Devils team that was shorthanded due to the absence of key elements such as Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Jack Hughes (shoulder). Still, the struggles are becoming a worrisome trend for the 26-year-old Skinner. He's gone 2-5-0 with a 3.77 GAA and an .868 save percentage over his last nine outings, but perhaps the most troubling aspect of that stretch is he's posted a save percentage of .900 or higher on just one occasion.

Skinner is set to start on the road against New Jersey on Thursday, per Jason Gregor of Oilers Nation.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has been something of a mixed bag recently, posting a 2-1-0 record, 2.96 GAA and .880 save percentage across his past three appearances. Unreliability has also been the theme of his overall body of work in 2024-25 -- he has a 22-16-4 record, 2.88 GAA and .896 save percentage across 44 outings. New Jersey ranks an okay 14th in goals per game with 2.98. However, top forward Jack Hughes (shoulder) and offensive defenseman Dougie Hamilton (lower body) are both out, so Skinner won't be facing the Devils at their full potential.

Skinner made 20 saves in Monday's 3-2 loss to Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams traded tallies through two periods, but a quick Sabres counterattack early in the third produced Tage Thompson's second goal of the night and the game-winner. Skinner has struggled since the beginning of February, going 3-5-0 over his last 10 outings with a 3.67 GAA and an .871 save percentage, but his starting spot appears safe as Calvin Pickard hasn't been any better (4.03 GAA, .879 save percentage) over that stretch.
