The Oilers will likely roll with Skinner in the crease in their first game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Skinner lost two of his last three starts (1-2-0), including allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in their final game of the season when the Oilers opted to rest their top five offensive contributors on the team. 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.

Janmark was nicked up at the end of the season and was questionable heading into their series with the Kings. However, his availability for Sunday's practice is a great sign that he'll play in game 1. Look for him to skate on the fourth line with Sam Carrick and Evander Kane.

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.

Ekholm will get the night off on Thursday as the Oilers opt to give him the night off to rest ahead of their playoff run. Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Evander Kane, Evan Bouchard, and Connor McDavid will all join him in the press box tonight.

Podkolzin was the 10th overall pick of the Canucks in the 2019 NHL Entry draft and has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension. He has been limited to 18 games with Vancouver this season, spending most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, scoring 28 points (15G / 13A) in 44 games with the Abbotsford Cancuks.

On the front end of a back-to-back, their second-last game of the season, the Oilers will ride with Pickard between the pipes on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes. Pickard has allowed three or fewer goals in three of his last four (2-1-1) but was unsuccessful in his last outing, allowing three goals on 28 shots (.893 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes. The Oilers enter action as -157 road underdogs.

With Tampa Bay secured into a playoff spot, they have opted to start Tomkins more regularly and will turn to him again in their final game of the season for his third start in the last seven games. Tomkins was solid in his last outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators. Tampa Bay enters action as a -137 home favourite on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Arizona will go against their usual goaltending patterns on Wednesday as they are going back to Connor Ingram for a second-straight start for their final game of the season vs. Edmonton. The 27-year-old has appeared in a career-high 47 games this season and has a solid 22-21-3 record, 2.93 GAA, .906 SV% and league-leading six shutouts. He'll host the Edmonton Oilers for the final game at Mullett Arena and in Arizona before the Franchise departs for Salt Lake City.

Troy Stecher and Philip Broberg will draw into the lineup on Wednesday as the Oilers will rest Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci in their penultimate game of the season. Stecher has seven points (1G / 6A), 66 hits, and 77 blocks in 52 games this season.

The Oilers enter action on Monday as significant -540 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.

McDavid has missed the last three games but will be back in the lineup on Monday against the San Jose Sharks. McDavid has likely fallen out of contention for the Art Ross Trophy, 11 points behind the scoring leader Nikita Kucherov with three games remaining, but is amid another terrific season with 130 points (31G / 99A) in 74 games.
