Skinner turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The Oilers lost Connor McDavid to a lower-body injury early in the first period, and the team never recovered. While Skinner was coming off a shutout of the Penguins on Friday, that was the only start this season in which he's given up fewer than three goals, leaving him with a shaky 3.51 GAA and .872 save percentage to go along with a 2-4-1 record.
