Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Scheduled to start on Long Island
Rotowire
Skinner is slated to start in Tuesday's road divisional matchup versus the Islanders, according to NHL.com.
Skinner will tend the twine in the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Arturs Silovs was in goal for Monday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa. The Islanders also played Monday, losing 4-1 to the Capitals, so neither team has the rest advantage Tuesday. Skinner faced the Isles on Oct. 16 when he was with the Oilers, making 21 saves on 24 shots in a 4-2 loss. The 27-year-old netminder is 2-2-0 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA over four career appearances against the Islanders.

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.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Beaten once Sunday
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Bruins.
Skinner was beaten by Viktor Arvidsson's backhander in the first period, and that would be all the offense the Bruins would generate throughout the game. Even though Skinner posted a strong showing between the pipes, the offense didn't support him, which led to the end of his three-game winning streak. He continues to play well at an individual level despite the win-loss record, though, as Skinner has now posted four straight games with a save percentage of at least .915, allowing just one goal in each of those contests.

Skinner halted 28 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Skinner was perfect at even strength Thursday, as he allowed just one power-play tally early in the third period en route to his third consecutive win. With Thursday's victory, he is up to a 14-11-4 overall record, a 2.77 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 29 games between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this season. After three consecutive losses to start his tenure with the Penguins, the 27-year-old netminder has a 3-0-0 record with a 1.00 GAA and a .957 save percentage over his last three starts. Pittsburgh has won each of its last six games and will need Skinner to keep up at least a fraction of his recent form if the Penguins are to make a push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Regardless of his past inconsistencies, the polarizing goalie is a top streaming option in fantasy formats while he soars on his current winning streak.
