Skinner made 20 of 23 saves in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Skinner's struggles from his last appearance continued, allowing three goals in the second period before the rookie Emmitt Finnie tied the bow on his breakout performance with an empty-net tally. With the loss, Skinner now has a 1-2-1 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .909 save percentage in four appearances this season. The 26-year-old goalie's performances across his three starts during Edmonton's four-game road trip display some of the inconsistencies he's faced in his career. After a 30-save shutout win over the Rangers, he surrendered three goals each to the Islanders and Red Wings. For the time being, Skinner might continue to be a coin-flip in net for the Oilers, making him a frustrating option in fantasy, but one with decent value playing for the reigning Stanley Cup runners-up. His next chance to bounce back is Tuesday against the Senators, should he get the start over Calvin Pickard.
