Skinner is set to start on the road versus the Blues on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has lost four of his last five outings (1-3-1), giving up a total of 14 goals in that span. The Blues are also in a run of futility, having scored just six goals over their last five games while going 1-4-0 in that span. Something will have to give, and Skinner looks to be a good fantasy option in this matchup.

Skinner made 24 saves Saturday in a 4-3 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The Leafs came in waves in the first period and stacked up a 3-0 lead. Skinner put his queasy start to the season behind him, and he's look strong ever since. But he's 1-3-1 in his last five starts, and he's allowed 14 goals in that span. Skinner will be fine. The Oil give him lots of goals to work with.

Skinner stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner posted another solid performance, as he was coming off a 39-save effort in the 3-2 win over the Sabres on Jan. 25, but the overall record isn't encouraging. Over his last five games, Skinner has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage, including the 3-2 loss to the Capitals in which he posted a .786 save percentage.

Skinner will patrol the blue paint in Thursday's home game versus Detroit, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has been middling at best since he recorded a 30-save shutout victory over the Kings on Jan. 13. In the four appearances since then, the 26-year-old netminder is 2-2-0 with a 2.80 GAA and .897 save percentage. Still, Skinner should see the bulk of the workload heading into the international break, with the exception being one leg of a back-to-back versus the Blues and Blackhawks on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Skinner (personal) returned to practice Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was back on the ice with his teammates following the birth of his child. After sitting out versus Seattle on Monday, the 26-year-old netminder should reclaim his crease for Thursday's home clash with the Red Wings. In his last five outings, the Edmonton native is 3-2-0 with a 2.23 GAA and a .920 save percentage.

Skinner (personal) will not be in the lineup Monday versus the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner and his wife, Chloe, welcomed their child into the world Monday. The Oilers signed Tyler Palmer of the University of Alberta to an amateur tryout Monday as a result of Skinner's absence. Calvin Pickard will start versus the Kraken, while Palmer will back him up. Skinner's next chance to return to the lineup will be Thursday against the Red Wings.

Skinner was not on the ice ahead of Monday's game versus Seattle while awaiting the birth of his child, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Skinner away, the Oilers will roll with Calvin Pickard in net against the Kraken for Monday's home contest. At this point, it's probably a game-time decision whether Skinner will link up with the team to serve as the backup or if the club will recall a goalie, likely Collin Delia, from the minors for Monday's matchup.

Skinner made 39 saves in a 3-2 win over the Sabres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner had an easy first period with just five shots, but Alex Tuch ripped one off his glove late in that frame to put Buffalo up. The Sabres turned up the heat in the second and third frames, but Jiri Kulich was the only guy to beat Skinner, and it took a man advantage to solve him. Skinner is 6-3-0 in his last nine starts, allowing 19 goals and posting a .922 save percentage. Even with this strong run, Skinner's save percentage this season remains low at .902, which could make him an intriguing buy-low candidate despite his improved play.
