After a disappointing three-game losing skid to start the season, the Oilers have won two straight and will return to Skinner between the pipes on Saturday afternoon in a rematch of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars. Skinner has allowed three or more goals in each of his three games this season (1-2-0), but was solid in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Skinner has struggled early in the season, mirroring the Oilers' ability to score only three goals through three games (0-3-0). The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed eight goals on 41 shots (.805 SV%) through two games this season but is hopeful to return closer to his 2.69 GAA and .909 SV% accumulated over his 123-game career before the start of the 2024-25 campaign. The winless Oilers enter action on Tuesday as -190 home favorites against the Philadelphia Flyers.
