Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Between pipes against Canes
Rotowire
Skinner will tend the twine on the road versus Carolina on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Skinner and fellow backstop Arturs Silovs have been splitting the workload for much of the season, a trend fantasy managers can expect will likely continue down the stretch. The 27-year-old Skinner is currently mired in a four-game losing streak, having gone 0-1-3 with a 2.90 GAA over that stretch. He'll face an uphill battle trying to secure his 20th win of the year with both Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) unavailable.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Exits ice first Tuesday
Rotowire
Skinner was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Dan Potash of Sportsnet Pittsburgh reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road against Boston.
Skinner is undefeated in regulation over his last seven outings, posting a 5-0-2 record to go with a 2.96 GAA. Despite his solid numbers, the 27-year-old netminder could still find himself relegated to the No. 2 role due to Arturs Silovs' three-game winning streak that includes a shutout win his last time out. For now, the duo seems likely to continue to split the workload, featuring in every other contest.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Surrenders five goals
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Skinner's five-game winning streak came to a crashing halt with this performance. This is the second outing in a row that he's given up five goals, so the upcoming Olympic break should provide a beneficial reset for the 27-year-old netminder. He's now at a 19-12-5 record with a 2.79 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 36 starts. The Penguins have been alternating goalies lately, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Arturs Silovs get the nod versus the Sabres on Thursday.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Earns win over Flames
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Skinner picked up his third straight win and his fifth in six outings in January. The 27-year-old netminder also started consecutive games for the first time in his Penguins tenure, which suggests he may be pulling away from a timeshare with Arturs Silovs. On the season, Skinner is 17-12-4 with a 2.67 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 33 starts, but he's been better in Pittsburgh than he was in Edmonton. He will likely avoid a rematch with his former team, as Silovs could be between the pipes against the Oilers on Thursday in the second half of the back-to-back.
