Skinner scored a goal on six shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
With the Oilers' offense sputtering early in the season, head coach Kris Knoblauch shuffled Skinner to the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman. The change worked at first, as Skinner scored 1:16 into the game, but it didn't lead to a return to form for the team as a whole. Skinner has two points, 12 shots on net and three hits through three contests, and he should remain a fixture in the top six throughout the campaign.
