Stuart Skinner News

Skinner was solid in his most recent outing, saving 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%), but received no goal support in a 1-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. The 27-year-old Skinner had a concerning start to his Penguins tenure, posting an ugly 4.01 GAA and .831 SV% in his first three games (0-3-0), but has been nearly perfect since, posting a 1.03 GAA and .955 SV% in four games (3-1-0).
