1 week agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (concussion) will play against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. A concussion spotter pulled Skinner from Thursday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, but he has since been cleared to play in Saturday's contest. Skinner owns a 23-17-4 record for the season with two shutouts. He has allowed 2.85 goals while recording a .896 save percentage. During his last five appearances, Skinner has given up three or more goals in four games, resulting in three losses. With Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) out on Saturday, the Oilers may struggle to provide Skinner with adequate goal support.

1 week agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (concussion) is available for Saturday's tilt against the Seattle Kraken. He was pulled by the concussion spotter on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets, but Skinner is considered "fine." Skinner's recent performances have not been up to par, so he may still sit out Saturday's game as Calvin Pickard's backup. Since the beginning of February, Skinner has collected only four victories. He owns a 23-17-4 record for the year, allowing 2.85 goals with a .896 save percentage and two shutouts. Pickard has gone 3-1-1 over his past five appearances.

1 week agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (concussion) was removed from Thursday's contest by a concussion spotter. The 26-year-old only missed the final five minutes of the contest. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status leading up to their next game on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. Before exiting, Skinner stopped 13 of the 16 shots he saw. He was replaced by Calvin Pickard. If Skinner were to miss any significant period of time, Pickard would operate as the clear top goaltender in the Edmonton crease. Over his past eight games before Thursday, Skinner carried a 3.01 GAA with an .889 save percentage. During this stretch, he held a 3-4 record. Pickard has held a modest .900 save percentage with a 3.13 GAA over his last six appearances.

3 weeks agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will get the starting nod on Monday evening against the Buffalo Sabres. Skinner has won each of his previous two starts. During this stretch, Skinner has held a .885 save percentage and allowed six total goals. However, before this win streak, Skinner held a poor .863 save percentage with a 0-3 record over his previous five outings. Through 43 total contests, Skinner has held a 22-15-4 record with a modest 2.87 GAA and a .897 save percentage. He has posted two shutouts and has only allowed one or less goals in eight of his contests. However, despite his inconsistent production, the 26-year-old has a great opportunity to stay in the win column facing the Sabres who currently sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
