Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Yields five goals in loss
Stuart Skinner gave up five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.While this was just his second regulation loss in November, this was Skinner's worst outing of the month. The 26-year-old has not put together consistent performances and has yet to win more than two games in a row this season. He's now at a 6-6-2 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 14 appearances. Skinner's shaky play in goal could lead to more opportunities for Calvin Pickard moving forward, though he has been just slightly better in his eight games (2.44 GAA, .893 save percentage).

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gets starting nod versus Wild
Stuart Skinner will be between the home pipes against Minnesota on Thursday, Tony Brar of Edmonton Oilers TV reports.Skinner is undefeated in regulation over his last four outings, posting a 3-0-1 record to go with a 2.98 GAA and .871 save percentage. While the Oilers would undoubtedly prefer the netminder's save percentage was over .900, as long as he keeps earning standings points, he should maintain his spot as the No. 1 option ahead of Calvin Pickard.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Only two goals allowed in win
Stuart Skinner made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.His teammates gave him a 3-1 lead in the first, and he never looked back. Skinner has had a rough start to 2024-25 and sits with a 6-5-2 record, 3.18 GAA and .881 save percentage. But he's gone 3-0-1 in his last four starts, and the Edmonton Oilers are starting to surge a bit. Still, Skinner generally allows too many goals a game -- this was his third game in 13 starts this season with two or fewer goals allowed. He did turn last year around in a big way, so maybe he can do the same for 2024-25.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes Tuesday
Stuart Skinner will tend the twine for Tuesday's road game at Ottawa, Edmonton Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.With Calvin Pickard already named the starter for Monday's matchup with Montreal, the decision to go with Skinner for the second game of the back-to-back shouldn't come as a surprise. While the 26-year-old Skinner has managed a 2-1-1 record in his last four outings, he's also given up at least three goals in each of those contests. Still, he figures to remain the No. 1 option in Edmonton unless Pickard can string together some strong performances.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Another queasy night in blue paint
Stuart Skinner made 18 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday.Skinner is best deployed with a big container of antacids. His game has been up and down (mostly down, it feels like), and his stat line of a 5-5-2 record, 3.28 GAA and .877 save percentage have hung like an anchor around most fantasy managers. Skinner found his groove last season after a horrendous start, so there's always hope. Hope's a crummy strategy, though. At some point, you are going to need to determine if you can live through a Skinner see-saw or not.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gets overtime win
Stuart Skinner stopped 19 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.Skinner allowed three goals for the third start in a row, but he's won two of those efforts. He nearly had this one in regulation, but the Islanders overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period to force overtime. Skinner improved to 5-5-1, but his 3.22 GAA and .881 save percentage haven't inspired a lot of confidence in his play. He's yet to start four consecutive games, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod Thursday at home versus the Predators.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Wins with plenty of support
Stuart Skinner allowed three goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.Skinner didn't perform well, but the Edmonton Oilers' offense put up a season-high seven goals to lift him to victory. The 26-year-old goaltender has three wins in his last five outings, but he's allowed 14 goals in that span. He's 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 10 starts. Skinner started consecutive games for the first time since a stretch of three straight outings from Oct. 19-25, but a pair of back-to-back sets in that span likely led to an increased workload for Calvin Pickard. The Oilers don't have any back-to-backs next week, and the team hosts the low-scoring Islanders on Tuesday.
