Skinner will start on Thursday vs. Los Angeles.

The Oilers snapped a two-game losing skid on Tuesday courtesy of Skinner and will roll with him again on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. Skinner saved 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets and has allowed three or more goals in four straight (2-1-1). The Oilers enter action -150 home favourites against the Kings.

The Oilers have been leaky between the pipes lately, allowing five or more goals in their last two games (0-2-0), and will likely return to Skinner in the crease on Tuesday. Skinner has lost two of his last three outings, allowing three or more goals in each and posting a subpar .884 SV%. The Oilers enter action as -122 home favourites against a Winnipeg Jets club that has been outscored 13-4 in their last three games (0-3-0).

Emberson (lower body) is likely to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

Emberson has been out since February 29th due to a lower-body injury and is likely to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season as he recovers. The 23-year-old rookie stood out as one of San Jose's best defensemen most nights when dressed and will finish his first season with a goal, 10 points, 31 SOG, six PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 30 games before his injury.

Skinner will start on Thursday vs. Buffalo.

Skinner will take back the Oilers' crease Thursday for his third start in four games after backing up Calvin Pickard in Edmonton's 3-2 win Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been on a tear for the last half of the season with a 19-4-2 record, .924 SV% and 2.15 GAA in his last 27 games played. He'll host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, whose playoff hopes took a hard hit with a loss on Tuesday but have still won four of their last six contests.

Arvidsson (lower body) was removed from Long-Term Injured Reserve and will be a game-time decision on Wednesday vs. Minnesota.

Arvidsson has played only four games this season due to various injuries, with his most recent lower-body ailment preventing him from playing the last 14 games. His return to practice on Monday was a promising sign for the high-volume shooting winger, who will be a game-time decision on Wednesday. He has two points (0G / 2A) and 12 shots in four games.
