Skinner stopped all 34 shots in a 3-0 victory over the Regina Pats of the WHL in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner and the Swift Current Broncos renewed their rivalry with a big victory over the Regina Pats in the first game of their WHL playoff series -- his first career WHL postseason shutout. The Oilers' third-round pick in 2017 (#78 overall) went 16-6-1 with a 2.68 GAA and .914 save percentage for the Broncos during the regular season. Edmonton is content with Cam Talbot and Al Montoya at the big level in 2017-18 -- Laurent Brossoit is also waiting for his chance down in the minors. The hometown backstop deserves to be monitored in dynasty leagues for now.

Skinner was named both WHL and Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Jan. 14, the Edmonton Sun reports.
