Skinner bounced back nicely in Game 4 to get Edmonton back in the win column with a 20-save performance (.909 SV%) and will take the crease Friday for Game 5 as expected. The 25-year-old Alberta native will appear in his 27th career playoff game Friday and has a less-than-stellar 9-5-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .887 SV% in 14 games in this year's playoffs. He will head to Texas to take on Dallas on Friday, who will be looking to get back into the win column and pick up their third victory in the last four games.

Skinner allowed four goals on 21 shots in a second-straight loss in Game 3 but has the coaches' confidence heading into Game 4 on Wednesday as Kris Knoblauch announced he would be starting Edmonton's crucial Game 4. The 25-year-old Edmonton native has struggled to put together consistent strong performances in the playoffs this year, resulting in his 8-5-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .885 SV%.

Skinner stood on his head in the Oilers' opening game of the Western Conference final stopping 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a Game 1 overtime victory and will take the crease for Game 2 on Saturday in Dallas. The 25-year-old Edmonton native seems to have gotten his groove back with three straight victories after backing up two games in the Oilers' previous series vs. Vancouver and has an 8-3-0 record, 2.70 GAA and .888 SV% in the playoffs so far. He will head to Dallas on Saturday as Edmonton looks for their fourth-straight victory and a commanding 2-0 lead on the series.

Skinner returned to the Oilers' crease for a crucial Game 6 win after backing up for their previous two games and stopped 14 of 15 shots in the team's victory and will start Game 7 on Monday in Vancouver. The 25-year-old is having a very up-and-down second playoff in Edmonton this season, with his 6-3-0 record, 2.97 GAA and .881 SV% in nine appearances. He will head to Vancouver for Game 7 on Monday, who are looking to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2011.

Skinner stopped 16 of 19 shots (.842 SV%) but evened out the Oilers' second series with a Game 2 win over Vancouver and will start Game 3 on Sunday. The 25-year-old has an impressive record in the playoffs (5-2-0) despite his overall struggled with a 2.96 GAA and .888 SV%. He will host the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, who are looking to get back in the win column after having their two-game win streak snapped with their Game 2 loss.

Edmonton only ran an optional morning skate ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday but Skinner is expected to start as the Oilers look to close out the series. The 25-year-old netminder has played well in the Oilers opening series, with his 3-1-0 record, 2.48 GAA, .919 SV% and one shutout.

The Oilers will unsurprisingly turn back to Skinner between the pipes for Game 3 on Friday despite taking the loss in Game 2. Skinner's stat line in Game 2 left a lot to be desired, as he allowed five goals on just 26 shots enroute to a 5-4 overtime defeat. The Oilers' starting netminder now owns a below-average .857 SV% through his first two games of the 2024 post-season. The sportsbooks do like his chances of rebounding on Friday, however, as the Oilers' enter action as -140 favourites over the Kings.

After an impressive 7-4 victory in game one against the Los Angeles Kings, the Oilers will return to Skinner between the pipes in game two. Skinner was serviceable in game one, saving 33 of 37 shots (.892 SV%) and did not allow a goal until midway through the second period when the game was already out of reach. The Oilers enter action on Wednesday as -183 home favourites.

The Oilers will roll with Skinner in the crease in their first game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings.

That said, Skinner had a serviceable 2023-24 campaign, posting a 2.62 GAA and .905 SV% in 59 contests (36-16-5). The Oilers enter game one as -165 home favourites.

Skinner will get the nod in the Oilers' regular season finale on Thursday after Calvin Pickard got the start in Arizona on Wednesday. Skinner picked up the win his last time out, allowing two goals on 21 shots as the Oilers cruised to a 9-2 victory over the Sharks. The 25-year-old netminder rebounded nicely after a poor start to the season, posting a 36-15-5 record and a .907 SV% across 58 appearances. He will have his hands full on Thursday with the Oilers likely resting some key players in Colorado as they finish the season on the tail-end of a back-to-back.

The Oilers have lost two straight and will turn to Skinner for consecutive starts for the first time this month. Skinner has played well lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six straight (4-1-1), but was unvictorious in his most recent outing, allowing two goals on 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers enter action on Monday as significant -540 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.
