He has posted a 2.87 goals-against average, a .894 save percentage, and one shutout. The Oilers have received solid goaltending from Skinner, but he hasn't won back-to-back starts in over a month.

The Oilers plan to give Skinner two starts over the final four regular-season games. Skinner has been out of action since March 26 due to a head injury. Pickard has performed well in his absence, and Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has stated that the starting goaltender for the playoffs has yet to be determined. Skinner has posted a 24-18-4 record during an up-and-down campaign, allowing 2.91 goals with a .894 save percentage and two shutouts.
Stuart Skinner Remains Out On Saturday, Could Miss A Week
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (head) will sit out a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Calgary Flames. He suffered a head injury in Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Stars, and Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has indicated that Skinner could be unavailable for up to a week. He is officially considered day-to-day. Calvin Pickard will receive the starting nod for a second consecutive game on Saturday. He struggled badly on Thursday night against the Seattle Kraken, allowing five goals on 29 shots before Olivier Rodrigue replaced him for the third period in a 6-1 loss.
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (concussion) will play against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. A concussion spotter pulled Skinner from Thursday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, but he has since been cleared to play in Saturday's contest. Skinner owns a 23-17-4 record for the season with two shutouts. He has allowed 2.85 goals while recording a .896 save percentage.

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner (concussion) is available for Saturday's tilt against the Seattle Kraken. He was pulled by the concussion spotter on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets, but Skinner is considered "fine." Skinner's recent performances have not been up to par, so he may still sit out Saturday's game as Calvin Pickard's backup. Since the beginning of February, Skinner has collected only four victories. He owns a 23-17-4 record for the year, allowing 2.85 goals with a .896 save percentage and two shutouts. Pickard has gone 3-1-1 over his past five appearances.

Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status leading up to their next game on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. Before exiting, Skinner stopped 13 of the 16 shots he saw. He was replaced by Calvin Pickard. If Skinner were to miss any significant period of time, Pickard would operate as the clear top goaltender in the Edmonton crease. Over his past eight games before Thursday, Skinner carried a 3.01 GAA with an .889 save percentage. During this stretch, he held a 3-4 record. Pickard has held a modest .900 save percentage with a 3.13 GAA over his last six appearances.

However, before this win streak, Skinner held a poor .863 save percentage with a 0-3 record over his previous five outings. Through 43 total contests, Skinner has held a 22-15-4 record with a modest 2.87 GAA and a .897 save percentage. He has posted two shutouts and has only allowed one or less goals in eight of his contests. However, despite his inconsistent production, the 26-year-old has a great opportunity to stay in the win column facing the Sabres who currently sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will look to make it a hat trick of wins against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. He has posted a 2-0-0 record against Colorado in 2024-25, allowing 2.00 goals with a .925 save percentage. Although Skinner has dropped three of his last five decisions, he still owns a strong record, as the 26-year-old is 20-12-4 for the campaign. Edmonton's No. 1 sits on two shutouts and has allowed 2.68 goals with a .902 save percentage. With the NHL's top scorer, Nathan MacKinnon, leading the charge, Colorado has one of the most potent offenses in the league. However, Skinner appears to thrive in this matchup.

Overall, across 29 contests this season, the 25-year-old has posted a 17-9-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .902% SV.

Skinner was pulled for Calvin Pickard after two periods and saw a bit more action near the end of the third. The Oilers No. 1 was beaten three times in the first period, and Vancouver scored twice against him on the power play. With three games played in the series and the Canucks now 2-1 up, Skinner boasts an abysmal 0.793 save percentage. The Oilers face a big goaltending decision ahead of Game 4.

After allowing nine goals through the first two games of the series, the 25-year-old has yielded just a single tally over the last two contests, putting up a .987 save percentage in that time. He posted a 2.62 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage across 57 starts and 59 appearances during the regular season.
Edmonton Oilers netminder Stuart Skinner will not be between the pipes of Tuesday's contest against the visiting Montreal Canadiens. This is not a back-to-back scenario, meaning this is strictly to give Skinner some rest while Calvin Pickard gets the start. The 25-year-old has indeed been leaned on heavily this season with his 49 games played sitting in a five-way tie for the second-most outings by a netminder this season. Skinner has posted a 2.57 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage on the season, posting a 30-13-4 record in the process. His 5.34 goals saved above average sits 24th of 69 qualified netminders, according to Hockey Reference. Pickard sports a 2.27 GAA and .919 Sv% across 14 games (13 starts) for the Oilers this season and is a strong streaming option against a Canadiens team that ranks 27th with 2.72 goals per game on the season.
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will give way to backup Calvin Pickard for Thursday's road game against the Detroit Red Wings. This is simply a rest for the well-used netminder as there is no back-to-back situation at play for the club.

The 25-year-old sits with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage through 28 outings (27 starts) on the season but has been fantastic of late. Skinner has won 13 of his last 15 decisions and has yielded two goals or fewer 10 times in that span, including in each of his last five while winning six straight games. He has become a high-end fantasy option on a surging Oilers team as a result.
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner was perfect with his work in Thursday's matchup against San Jose, posting a 25-save shutout in a 5-0 win.

The campaign has started horribly for Skinner, but he has just produced his best outing of 2023-24, recording his first shutout of the season with a 25-save effort in a 5-0 win over Washington. With the result, Skinner improved his record to 5-7-1, and four of the victories have come across his last six starts. The 25-year-old has performed better as of late, but he still boasts a poor 3.37 goals-against average and has a lowly .875 save percentage.
