    • Between pipes in Game 5
      Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas for Game 5 on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

      Advice: Skinner gave up a pair of early goals in Game 4 and then shut the door, stopping 20 shots as the Oilers evened the series at 2-2 with a 5-2 win Wednesday. Skinner has a 2.34 GAA and a .900 save percentage in four games against Dallas in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am
       
    • Evens series with Game 4 win
      Skinner stopped 20 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: It was an ugly first few minutes for Skinner, as the Stars held a 2-0 lead at 5:29 of the first period. The Oilers evened the score by the intermission and ran away with the game over the final 40 minutes, with Skinner hardly tested down the stretch. The Western Conference Finals are tied at two games apiece, and Skinner hasn't had to face more than 24 shots in any of the last three contests. He's now 9-5 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 14 playoff games. He'll look to build some momentum for the Oilers in Game 5 on Friday in Dallas. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:39 pm
       
    • Tending twine in Game 4
      Skinner will patrol the home crease Wednesday in Game 4 against Dallas, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

      Advice: Skinner surrendered four goals on 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. He has lost his last two outings, stopping 39 of 45 shots during that span. Skinner has posted an 8-5 record with a 2.76 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 13 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:32 am
       
    • Yields four goals in loss
      Skinner stopped 17 of 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: For the second game in a row, the Oilers' defense did well at shot suppression, but it wasn't enough. Skinner squandered a 2-0 lead after the first period and has allowed eight goals on 78 shots through the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Skinner briefly lost his starting job in the second round, but this is the first time he's lost consecutive contests this postseason. Game 4 is Wednesday in Edmonton, and head coach Kris Knoblauch hasn't revealed if it will be Skinner or Calvin Pickard who starts that game. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:10 pm
       
    • Guarding goal in Game 3
      Skinner will patrol the home crease Monday in Game 3 against Dallas, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

      Advice: Skinner stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. The defeat snapped his three-game winning streak. Skinner has posted an 8-4 record with a 2.65 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 12 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:01 pm
       
    • Decent in loss
      Skinner stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. The third goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Skinner gave up a goal to Jamie Benn on a 2-on-1 in the first period, and Mason Marchment tipped in the game-winner in the third. It's tough to find much fault in Skinner's performance in his first loss in four starts, a span in which he's allowed a total of seven goals. The 25-year-old is 8-4 with a 2.65 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 12 playoff outings, though he's been better in recent games. Skinner will likely be between the pipes again for Monday's Game 3 in Edmonton. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:10 pm
       
    • Tending twine in Game 2
      Skinner will guard the road goal in Game 2 versus Dallas on Saturday, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports.

      Advice: Skinner has stopped 60 of 65 shots during his three-game winning streak. He is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime victory over the Stars in Game 1. Skinner has posted an 8-3 record with a 2.70 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 11 appearances this postseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:31 pm
       
    • Steady in Game 1 win
      Skinner stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Skinner didn't face more than 24 shots in any of his five appearances in the second round versus the Canucks, but the Stars predictably were more active. The 25-year-old was up to the challenge, earning his third straight win. He's allowed just five goals in that span. Skinner's back in the No. 1 job for the Oilers, so he should be expected to start Game 2 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:55 pm
       
    • Between pipes for Game 1
      Skinner will tend the twine on the road in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Stars on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

      Advice: Skinner has faced less than 20 shots in each of his last four appearances, posting a 3-1 record to go with a 2.66 GAA and .848 save percentage over that stretch. Despite being benched for Games 4 and 5 of the Oilers' second-round series versus Vancouver, the 25-year-old backstop was able to reclaim the starting role from Calvin Pickard for the final two games of the best-of-seven series. Skinner will likely remain the preferred choice in net for Edmonton during the Western Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:16 am
