Skinner gave up four goals on 34 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers never held a lead in the contest, and they weren't able to force a comeback despite a late push. Skinner has played better than he did Friday, although he's now given up four goals in each of his last two starts. The 23-year-old has a 2-4-0 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .921 save percentage in seven games. Mikko Koskinen seems likely to start Sunday's home game versus the Kings.

Skinner will patrol the blue paint on the road against Seattle on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner has played in just six games this season in which he is 2-3-0 with a 2.44 GAA. With Mikko Koskinen riding a three-game winning streak, Skinner will be hard-pressed to steal too many starts away down the stretch and will likely be sent back to the minors once Mike Smith (leg) is cleared to return.

Skinner stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the four goals against Skinner came on deflections, so it's tough to fault him for the result when the Oilers' offense was stifled. The 23-year-old dropped to 2-3-0 with a 2.44 GAA and a .928 save percentage in six appearances this season. He'll likely serve as Mikko Koskinen's backup Wednesday against the Coyotes.

Skinner will be between the pipes Tuesday against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was sensational in a pair of back-to-back victories, turning aside 75 of 78 shots against Chicago (Saturday) and Winnipeg (Thursday). He'll face a Dallas squad that's averaged 3.50 goals for in the month of November

Skinner stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers scored the first four goals of the game, so Skinner just had to be decent the rest of the way. The two goals he allowed came on a double deflection and a 2-on-0 rush, both finished off by Alex DeBrincat. Skinner has given up just nine goals on 146 shots for a .938 save percentage in five appearances. The 23-year-old looks set to push Mikko Koskinen for more playing time while Mike Smith (leg) remains on injured reserve.

Skinner will defend the blue paint during Saturday's home game versus Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was fantastic in his last start Thursday against the Jets, stopping 46 of 47 shots en route to a 2-1 victory. The 23-year-old backstop will try to pick up his second win of the year in a home matchup with a surging Blackhawks team that's won four straight contests.

Skinner stopped 46 of 47 shots in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was every bit as good as Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck, and arguably even a little better. Skinner helped the Oilers kill off four penalties, including a double-minor by Connor McDavid that covered 3:16 of overtime. The 23-year-old Skinner earned his first win in four outings, and he's allowed only seven goals on 116 shots. Mikko Koskinen has been the unquestioned No. 1 with Mike Smith (leg) out of action, but a performance like Thursday's from Skinner can't be ignored, as the Oilers will likely want the youngster to see regular playing time.

Skinner is slated to guard the crease against Winnipeg at home Thursday, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was called into action versus the Jets on Tuesday, stopping all eight shots that he faced. With Mike Smith (leg) still unavailable, the 23-year-old Skinner should continue to split the starts with Mikko Koskinen. With Connor McDavid and company in front of him, Skinner doesn't need to be perfect, simply good enough to keep the game close.

Skinner stopped all eight shots he faced in the third period of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The only goal the Jets scored in the third period was Kyle Connor's empty-netter. Skinner has lost both of his two starts this seasons, so he's probably not ready to challenge for more playing time. Head coach Dave Tippett has yet to announce a starting goalie for Thursday's rematch versus the Jets in Edmonton.

Skinner surrendered three goals on 23 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner gave up all three goals in the second period. The 23-year-old has now allowed six goals on 61 shots across his two starts this season. With how well Mikko Koskinen has played in Mike Smith's (leg) absence, Skinner shouldn't be expected to see much playing time outside of back-to-back sets.
