The former has been solid this year, posting a 2-2-0 record with a 2.10 GAA and a .944 save percentage. Both of Skinner's victories this season have come on the road.

Skinner will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was excellent in his last start Saturday against the Flames, stopping 40 of 42 shots en route to a 3-2 road victory.

Skinner stopped 40 of 42 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner was locked in for this contest. He gave up both goals in the second period, but settled down to allow the Oilers to pull off the comeback win in the third. The 23-year-old continues to turn aside shots at an impressive rate -- he's allowed just six goals on 134 shots this season while posting a 2-1-0 record through four appearances. Skinner may be pushing Jack Campbell for playing time -- the former has started two of the Oilers' last three games. They have a three-game home stand versus the Predators, Devils and Stars next week.

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 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.
