Koskinen gave up five goals on 36 shots in the Oilers’ loss to Montreal on Saturday. With no other NHL-calibre netminder on the roster, the Oilers will ride Koskinen heavily for the foreseeable future. He sandwiched one great outing between two ugly starts but will make his fourth consecutive start Monday. Montreal has scored nine goals in their first two games, so there are better options on Monday’s busy slate.
Koskinen stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Oilers' win over the Canucks on Thursday. With Mike Smith landing on LTIR, Koskinen is going to get all of the starts that he can handle for the foreseeable future. Thursday was a nice bounce-back game after he gave up five in the season opener. If the first two games were any indication, Koskinen is going to be busy this season, as he's faced 37.5 shots per game so far.
Koskinen allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Oilers loss to the Canucks last night. Head coach Dave Tippett said that Mike Smith would start the second game of the back-to-back but he was scratched for an unknown reason, which means Koskinen will start again and Stuart Skinner was recalled to serve as his backup.
Koskinen was 18-13-3 with a 2.75 GAA and .917 SV% in 34 starts and four relief appearances in 2020. It was a much better year than he had in his first season with the Oilers but still left the Oilers searching for goaltending help on the free agent market. When they struck out there, they brought Mike Smith back, leaving Koskinen as the de facto No.1 netminder. There's going to be plenty of high-scoring games in the North Division this season and Wednesday's Canucks vs. Oilers game looks like one of them.
The Oilers went with Mike Smith in Game 1 and it was an unmitigated disaster. Smith gave up five goals on 23 shots before the midway point and was then replaced by Koskinen, who stopped 18 of the 19 shots that he faced. Koskinen, who was 18-13-3 with a 2.75 GAA and .917 SV% in the regular season will be making his first career NHL playoffs start.
Koskinen stopped 45 of 46 shots in the Oilers win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It was another outstanding performance from Koskinen, who has stopped 97 of the last 99 shots (.980 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he'll face the Golden Knights for the second time in the last two weeks--he allowed three goals on 33 shots in a 3-0 loss in Vegas on February 26th.
Koskinen stopped all 10 shots that he faced after replacing Mike Smith in the Oilers loss in Chicago on Thursday. Koskinen has been excellent to start March, winning his first start and stopping 52 of the first 53 shots (.981 SV%) that he's faced. Tonight he'll face a Blue Jackets team that is 2-5-6 while scoring just 2.38 goals per game in their last 13 games.
