Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Takes loss in preseason finale
Skinner stopped 22 of 25 shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Canucks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Skinner ends the preseason at 1-2-0 with nine goals allowed on 75 shots. That's not a particularly encouraging stat line, but the Oilers are likely to find another gear on offense once the games start to count. Skinner is far from a perfect goalie, but fantasy managers should be able to rely on him for plenty of wins and passable ratios behind one of the league's most intimidating offenses. He enters 2024-25 as the unquestioned No. 1 goalie in Edmonton for the first time in his career, and he may reach the 60-game mark this year after falling one short in 2023-24.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Tending twine Friday
Skinner is slated to be in the road crease for Friday's preseason game against Vancouver, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports.
Skinner will make his third exhibition start of the year during Friday's preseason finale. Most recently, he turned aside 21 of 23 shots in a home loss to the Canucks on Monday. The 25-year-old should see another heavy workload in 2024-25 as the Oilers' clear-cut No. 1 goaltender.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Starting against Vancouver
Skinner will be between the pipes for Monday's home preseason contest versus the Canucks, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Skinner will make his second appearance of the preseason -- the Alberta native stopped 23 of 27 shots in Wednesday's loss to Winnipeg. The 25-year-old is locked in as Edmonton's clear-cut No. 1 netminder heading into the 2024-25 season.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes Wednesday
Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Skinner has played in at least 50 regular-season games in each of the previous two campaigns, including last year's 36-win performance. The 25-year-old netminder should be in line for another heavy workload in 2024-25 and could even top the 60-game threshold to be one of the leaders in the league. If he does play that much, Skinner could top the 40-win mark as well given the offensive support around him.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Falls short in Florida
Skinner stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.
Skinner was unable to extend his winning streak to four games, and the Oilers ended up a win shy of the Stanley Cup. While there were some rough patches for Skinner this postseason, he ended up with a 14-9 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 23 appearances. The 25-year-old looks firmly entrenched as the Oilers' starting goalie heading into 2024-25.

Over the last three outings, the 25-year-old netminder is sporting a 1.67 GAA and .942 save percentage.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Helps force Game 7
Skinner stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.
Skinner rattled off his third straight win to dig the Oilers out of a 3-0 series deficit. This victory sends the series to Florida one more time for Game 7 on Monday. Skinner has yet to win four games in a row this postseason -- the last time he did so was Feb. 26-March 5 during the regular season. The 25-year-old goalie's performance while helping to pull the Oilers back from the brink makes it a virtual guarantee he'll get the nod for Monday's winner-take-all contest.

He's now 13-8 with a 2.53 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 21 playoff contests. Skinner's a virtual lock to start Game 6 at home as the Oilers look to even the series.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Keeps season alive
Skinner stopped 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.
Skinner stepped up with a strong start, and his teammates rewarded him with stellar goal support with their season on the line. Despite this solid performance, Skinner has given up 10 goals over four contests in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Oilers are down 3-1 in the series and face a steep challenge, but the 25-year-old will probably be between the pipes the rest of the way.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Set to start Saturday
Skinner is expected to start at home against Florida in Game 4 on Saturday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.
Skinner lost the first three contests of the Stanley Cup Finals while stopping 59 of 68 shots (.868 save percentage).

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Stumbles in second period
Skinner allowed four goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.
Skinner brought some of his trouble on himself, as one of the Panthers' goals in the second period came from his own turnover. Florida scored three times in a span of 6:19 in the middle frame, and the Oilers' comeback fell short, leaving Skinner with a third straight loss. He's 11-8 with a 2.59 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 playoff contests. The Oilers will face a herculean task to try to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals, but there's been no talk of Calvin Pickard getting a start, so it seems head coach Kris Knoblauch will likely ride with Skinner to the end.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Starting Game 3
Skinner will protect the home goal versus the Panthers in Thursday's Game 3, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Skinner has let in five goals on 45 shots over the first two games of the series, but he'll stay between the pipes for the first contest in Edmonton. The fact that he hasn't let in more than three goals in nine of his last 10 contests is a positive, but the Oilers have just one tally over two games in the Stanley Cup Finals, so Skinner will likely need more goal support to have a chance to best the Panthers on Thursday.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Consecutive losses to open series
Skinner stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to Florida in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Skinner didn't have much support in front of him in Game 2 -- the Oilers had seven shots on goal through the first two frames. It was only the second time in his last 10 outings that Skinner has allowed more than two goals in a contest. The 25-year-old has an .886 save percentage through two games in this series, though Edmonton hasn't been able to provide the netminder with offensive support (one goal over two games). The last time Skinner lost consecutive contests in the postseason, he rebounded with three straight wins -- the Oilers will need that trend to continue when they head back to Edmonton for Game 3 on Thursday. Skinner is 11-7 with a 2.51 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 18 playoff appearances.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Slated to defend cage in Game 2
Skinner is expected to tend the road twine against the Panthers in Game 2 on Monday.
Skinner gave up just two goals in Game 1, his eighth time allowing two or fewer goals in the Oilers' last nine contests, but registered a subpar .882 save percentage after facing a mere 17 shots. Edmonton has allowed more than 25 shots in only two of those nine contests, so fantasy managers should expect Skinner to continue facing a light workload.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gets no help in Game 1 loss
Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Skinner had the lighter workload of the two goalies, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood on his head while the Panthers got a goal in each period. The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his last nine games, going 6-3 in that span. He's now 11-6 with a 2.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 playoff appearances. Game 2 is in Florida on Monday, and it's likely Skinner will get the start since he can't be blamed for the series-opening loss.
