Skinner stopped 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner won six of his nine outings in December, allowing just 21 goals for the month. The 26-year-old has rounded into form after a slow start to the campaign, and the Oilers' offense often provides strong support. Skinner is now 14-8-3 with a 2.81 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 25 starts in 2024-25. The Oilers have a favorable back-to-back coming up next -- they host the Ducks on Friday before visiting the Kraken on Saturday, so both Skinner and Calvin Pickard will be solid fantasy plays during that set.

Skinner turned aside 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers held a 3-2 lead going into the third period, but Tanner Jeannot tied it up early in the frame before Quinton Byfield snapped home the OT winner. It was a rare December misstep for Skinner, who has allowed two goals or fewer in five of eight starts this month while going 5-2-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Skinner is now at 13-8-2 with a 2.85 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 23 starts this season.

Skinner turned aside 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner allowed a pair of even-strength goals in the first period, but he shut the door the rest of the way as the Oilers completed the comeback in overtime. It was an encouraging bounce-back performance for the 26-year-old, as he allowed six goals on 28 shots in his last start against the Panthers on Monday. The Alberta native is up to a 12-8-2 record, .893 save percentage and 2.93 GAA through 22 appearances. Skinner and the Oilers have a back-to-back set against the Sharks and Senators on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Calvin Pickard will likely draw one of those starts.

Across five appearances this month, the 26-year-old has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.64 GAA and a .906 save percentage.

Skinner made 22 saves in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The back-and-forth affair saw the two teams combine for at least three goals in each period, but Florida dominated the third with three tallies on only 10 shots, as Skinner let a 4-2 lead slip away. It's the first time since Nov. 21 that the netminder has given up more than three goals, and on the season Skinner is 11-8-2 in 21 outings with a 2.98 GAA and an .892 save percentage.
