Skinner will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against the Blue Jackets, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner hasn't been particularly sharp recently, going 1-1-2 with a 3.58 GAA and .875 save percentage over his last four starts. He was chased from Saturday's start against the Avalanche after allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 save percentage), but he'll attempt to right the ship against the Blue Jackets, who are scoring 3.07 goals per game this year, which is tied for 16th in the NHL.

Skinner stopped nine of 13 shots before he was relieved by Calvin Pickard in Saturday's 9-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner played just under half of the game, and the Oilers let him stay in for a couple of minutes after giving up the fourth goal before replacing him at a TV timeout. While Skinner hasn't been awful this season, he hasn't been good enough to lift the Oilers out of their early doldrums, which sees them sitting seventh in the Pacific after Saturday's action, though they're just one point away from fourth. More concerning is the Oilers' minus-10 goal differential, which is more directly within Skinner's control. He's now 4-4-3 on the year with a 2.81 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 11 starts. The Oilers' next game is Monday versus the Blue Jackets, and they'll be heading east for a seven-game road trip after that.

Skinner is set to start at home against Colorado on Saturday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has a 4-3-3 record, 2.54 GAA and .899 save percentage in 10 appearances this season. He's allowed at least three goals in four of his past five outings. Skinner faced the Avalanche three times during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a 2-0-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .892 save percentage across those games.

Skinner stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner hasn't lost in regulation over his last five games, but he is just 2-0-3 in that span. He wasn't able to hold the Oilers' early two-goal lead, and he allowed two of the three Dallas attempts during the shootout. Skinner is now 4-3-3 on the year with a 2.54 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 10 appearances. The Oilers return home for their next game, which is a tough matchup against the Avalanche on Saturday.

Skinner will guard the road goal against Dallas on Tuesday, according to Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner will get the second half of Edmonton's back-to-back after Calvin Pickard plays in Monday's road matchup versus the Blues. The 27-year-old Skinner is coming off a 27-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Chicago. He has a 4-3-2 record this season while stopping 208 of the 231 shots he has faced. Dallas sits 25th in the league with 2.67 goals per game this campaign.

Skinner stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner let two leads get away, but Evan Bouchard's tally at 2:43 of overtime gave the Oilers a win. This was Skinner's second win in three starts and the first time in four outings he's allowed fewer than three goals. The 27-year-old netminder is now at a 4-3-2 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .900 save percentage over nine appearances. The Oilers have a road back-to-back up next with games Monday in St. Louis and Tuesday in Dallas, so both Skinner and Calvin Pickard should start once in that stretch.

Skinner will tend the twine at home versus Chicago on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner is 3-3-2 with a 2.59 GAA and an .896 save percentage across eight games this season. He gave up four goals on 35 shots Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers. Chicago has picked up the pace offensively this season, averaging 3.27 goals per game after posting 2.73 goals per contest in the 2024-25 campaign.

Skinner allowed four goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner had a 3-1 lead to protect from midway in the second period, but the Rangers scored twice in a span of 3:46 in the third to wipe that advantage out. J.T. Miller then scored in overtime, putting four goals on Skinner's line for the first time in eight outings this season. The 26-year-old has gone 3-3-2 with a 2.59 GAA and an .896 save percentage so far, which is virtually textbook mediocrity. Skinner will keep seeing a majority of the starts since Calvin Pickard hasn't been any better. Skinner didn't start more than two games in a row during October, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod Saturday versus the Blackhawks.

Skinner will be between the home pipes against the Rangers on Thursday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has played well this season after getting off to poor starts in his last two seasons. He is 3-3-1 with a 2.41 GAA and an .898 save percentage over seven starts this season. The Rangers are 31st in NHL scoring, averaging 2.18 GAA per game, though they are much better scoring on the road, finding the back of the net 18 times in six games, compared to only six goals in five home appearances.

Skinner stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner allowed two of the three goals against in the first period. The Oilers came out with a cleaner performance in the final 40 minutes, and that helped Skinner limit the damage to a Barrett Hayton goal in that stretch while the Edmonton offense took over. Skinner is now 3-3-1 on the year with a 2.41 GAA and an .898 save percentage over seven outings. He's been the No. 1 for the Oilers so far, but his performance still isn't inspiring a ton of confidence. The Oilers' next game is a favorable home matchup Thursday versus the low-scoring Rangers.
