Skinner will start on Monday vs. Los Angeles.

The Oilers will attempt to snap a three-game losing skid on Monday night with Skinner between the pipes. Skinner has struggled to keep the puck out of his net lately, allowing three or more goals in each of his last six games (2-3-1), including allowing five on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in his last outing, a 6-3 loss to the Calgary Flames. That said, the Oilers are -155 home favourites on Monday against a Los Angeles Kings club that defeated them 4-0 earlier this month.

Skinner's departure from practice on Monday is a major concern for the Sabres, as he has missed several stints already this season with various injuries. The veteran winger has struggled offensively lately, scoring only three points (2G / 1A) in his last 12 games.

Pickard will start on Friday vs. Minnesota.

Pickard has continued to be serviceable despite the Oilers' recent struggles and will return to the crease on Friday night. After their franchise-best 16-game winning streak ended earlier this month, the Oilers have showcased a pedestrian 4-3-1 in their last eight, allowing three or more goals in each contest. That said, Pickard is riding a six-game winning streak, allowing three or fewer goals in each while boasting a respectable .916 SV%. The Oilers enter action as -177 home favourites against the Minnesota Wild.
