EDGE Analysis

Skinner had watched six of the last nine games from the bench, and he went 0-1-2 in his three appearances in that span. He had a bit of a rough first period, allowing a goal on a wraparound. The Oilers ultimately bounced back while Skinner was perfect in the third period. The 24-year-old netminder improved to 14-11-4 with a 2.92 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 31 appearances.
