Stuart Skinner (personal) is not expected to be available Wednesday or Friday.

Skinner was placed on the non-roster list Tuesday as he left the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first son. The 24-year-old will be missed, as he has taken over the starting gig in Edmonton due to his strong play resulting in his 12-10-2 record, 2.96 GAA and .914 SV%.
