    • Steady in Game 3 win
      Skinner stopped 27 of 28 shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Skinner turned in the first good goaltending performance on either side in this series, though he also had plenty of support from his offense. He's allowed 10 goals on 91 shots through three games, but the Oilers have scored 17 times to establish a 2-1 series lead. Skinner continues to hold the starting job, and he'll presumably get the chance to try to strengthen Edmonton's position in Sunday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:20 pm
       
    • Tending twine Friday
      Skinner will get the starting nod for Game 3 in Los Angeles on Friday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

      Advice: Skinner has struggled so far this postseason, coughing up nine goals on 63 shots in two games. Including his final start of the regular season, he's gone 1-2-0 with an unsightly .829 save percentage over his last three outings. Skinner went 13-10-2 with an .894 save percentage and a 2.80 GAA in 27 road appearances during the regular season, so it'll be interesting to see how he'll perform in a hostile environment Friday.

    • Yields five goals in loss
      Skinner allowed five goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

      Advice: Skinner is now 1-1 in the postseason, having allowed nine goals on 63 shots. He's given up at least four goals in three straight games, something he didn't do in the seven outings prior to his recent struggles. The Oilers will likely continue to roll with Skinner in goal, though it could be up to the offense to cover up his mistakes in a first-round series that has not been kind to the goalies so far. The next game is Friday in Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Slated to face LA
      Skinner is set to start at home against the Kings for Game 2 on Wednesday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

      Advice: Skinner allowed four goals on 37 shots versus LA in Game 1 on Monday, but he got plenty of goal support en route to a 7-4 victory. He's typically done better against the Kings, posting a 4-1-0 record, 2.39 GAA and a .926 save percentage over five contests this year, including four regular-season outings. The Kings also left something to be desired offensively during the regular season, finishing the campaign in a tie for 16th offensively with 3.10 goals per contest.

    • Grabs Game 1 win
      Skinner stopped 33 of 37 shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.

      Advice: The Oilers jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Kings got on the board, so Skinner's ability to protect the lead was never in question. The 25-year-old went 36-16-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 59 contests as a full-time starter during the regular season. Skinner will benefit from the offense in front of him, though the Oilers' defensive issues could spell trouble for the netminder down the line. Game 2 is Wednesday in Edmonton.

    • Slated to start Game 1
      Skinner is expected to protect the home net in Game 1 versus the Kings on Monday.

      Advice: Skinner went 36-16-5 with two shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 59 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. He stopped 117 of 125 shots en route to a 3-1-0 mark against LA during the regular season. The Kings tied for 16th in the league in 2023-24 with 3.10 goals per contest.

    • Struggles in finale
      Skinner allowed four goals on 13 shots before he was replaced by Calvin Pickard in the second period of Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. Skinner was credited with the defeat.

      Advice: It certainly wasn't what Skinner had in mind for his final tune-up before the postseason -- the Avs scored four times in the first 10:17 of the opening period before Skinner was replaced by Pickard to start the second. The 25-year-old Skinner had won three of his previous four outings prior to Thursday, posting a .921 save percentage in that span. He'll wrap up the regular season at 36-16-5 with a .905 save percentage and 2.62 GAA. Skinner figures to be back between the pipes when the Oilers open the playoffs Monday at home versus the Kings.

    • Starting in Colorado
      Skinner will guard the road goal versus the Avalanche on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

      Advice: Skinner has gone 3-1-1 with 10 goals allowed on 118 shots over five outings in April. He'll get one more tune-up versus the Avalanche in preparation for the playoffs. Skinner may have a tough time getting a win, as the Oilers' entire top line and first defense pairing is being rested for Thursday's game, while the Avalanche will have all of their key players in the lineup.
