Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (head) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the San Jose Sharks. He will serve as Calvin Pickard's backup. The Oilers plan to give Skinner two starts over the final four regular-season games. Skinner has been out of action since March 26 due to a head injury. Pickard has performed well in his absence, and Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has stated that the starting goaltender for the playoffs has yet to be determined. Skinner has posted a 24-18-4 record during an up-and-down campaign, allowing 2.91 goals with a .894 save percentage and two shutouts.

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (head) will sit out a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Calgary Flames. He suffered a head injury in Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Stars, and Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has indicated that Skinner could be unavailable for up to a week. He is officially considered day-to-day. Calvin Pickard will receive the starting nod for a second consecutive game on Saturday. He struggled badly on Thursday night against the Seattle Kraken, allowing five goals on 29 shots before Olivier Rodrigue replaced him for the third period in a 6-1 loss.

Edmonton 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.

Edmonton 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.
