Skinner turned aside 37 of 38 shots Wednesday, upending the Blues 3-1.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner, who entered Wednesday having turned aside 51 of 54 shots, improved his season's stat line by denying all 29 even-strength shots Wednesday. It was the backup's first start since losing to the Sabres on Oct. 18. The lone goal Skinner allowed Wednesday came on Ryan O'Reilly's power-play tally. The 23-year-old netminder earned his first NHL win since blanking the Sharks on Feb. 14.

Skinner will guard the road net Wednesday night against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will make his third appearance and second start of the season. He surrendered three goals on 23 shots in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo on Oct. 18 during his last outing. Skinner has stopped 51 of 54 shots this campaign.

Skinner allowed three goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers did well to control possession, but they were too loose defensively. John-Jason Peterka scored on a breakaway in the second period, with that goal standing as the decisive tally. Skinner now has a good relief outing and a poor start on his ledger to begin the year. The 23-year-old netminder likely squandered this first chance to eat into Jack Campbell's playing time, but with the Oilers struggling to begin the year, chances could arise again. Their next game is a tough matchup Thursday versus the Hurricanes.

Skinner will start Tuesday's home game against Buffalo, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Skinner's first start of the season after he made a relief appearance Saturday versus Calgary. He stopped all 31 shots he faced that night after Jack Campbell was pulled. Skinner had a 6-6-0 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 13 appearances for the Oilers last season.

Skinner made 31 saves in relief of Jack Campbell in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames did all their damage against Campbell, with Skinner playing flawlessly after he entered midway through the first period. Skinner had some strong moments last year with a 2.62 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 13 appearances, but it was a matter of consistency. He'll serve as at least the backup throughout 2022-23, as Campbell's big contract signed this past summer will likely assure he sees more work than Skinner.

Skinner will guard the road goal during Wednesday's preseason game versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner was excellent in his last preseason appearance Saturday against Winnipeg, turning aside 33 of 35 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout win. He's slated to enter the season as Edmonton's No. 2 netminder behind Jack Campbell.

Skinner will protect the road goal in Saturday's preseason game in Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will get his first start of the preseason. The 23-year-old had a 2.62 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 13 games last season, and he's expected to be Jack Campbell's backup for much of the 2022-23 campaign.

Skinner was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This move likely indicated that Mikko Koskinen (illness) will be available to start or back up Mike Smith for Tuesday's tilt against the Sharks. Skinner will continue to get reps at the AHL level and serve as an injury replacement with the big club.

Skinner was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on an emergency basis Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With Mikko Koskinen (illness) unavailable Sunday, Skinner will likely dress as the backup behind Mike Smith against the Ducks. The 23-year-old is 6-6-0 with a .913 save percentage in 13 NHL appearances this season.

Skinner was demoted to AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has not made an additional NHL appearance since being elevated Sunday. The 23-year-old will return to AHL Bakersfield, looking to build upon his 11-2-4 record, 2.24 GAA and .919 save percentage over 18 games this season.
