The Oilers have given up two-goal leads in each of their last two games (0-1-1), and hope to return to the win column on Saturday with Skinner tending the twine against the Colorado Avalanche. Edmonton has struggled between the pipes this season, but has received more consistent goaltending from Skinner, who has a 2.54 GAA and .899 SV% in 10 games (4-3-3).
The night after a disappointing 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues, the Oilers will turn to Skinner between the pipes against the Dallas Stars. The 27-year-old Skinner played well in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He has a 2.52 GAA and .900 SV% in nine games this season (4-3-2). This will be the first time Skinner has faced the Stars since posting a 2.01 GAA and .924 SV% in five games (4-1-0) against them in the Western Conference Finals. The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as slight +107 road underdogs against a Stars team that has points in six straight games (3-0-3).
The Oilers are coming off a 6-3 win over the Utah Mammoth, and they will roll with Skinner again after he saved 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%) in the winning effort. The 26-year-old Skinner has had an up-and-down 2025-26 season, mirroring the Oilers' early-season efforts, posting a 2.41 GAA and .898 SV% in seven games (3-3-1). The Oilers enter Thursday's contest as -155 home favorites against a New York Rangers team they defeated 2-0 on October 14th, a 30-save shutout for Skinner.

Despite an unspectacular 2-3-1 record, the 26-year-old Skinner has been serviceable in the Oilers' crease, posting a 2.31 GAA and .903 SV%. The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as -145 home favorites against a surprising Mammoth team that leads the Central Division and is currently riding a seven-game winning streak.
The Oilers have lost four of their first six games (2-3-1) despite receiving adequate goaltending. Skinner has a 1-2-1 record through four outings but has been reliable between the pipes, posting a 2.23 GAA and .910 SV%. The Oilers are only averaging 2.5 goals per game, bottom-five in the NHL, and hope to inflate those totals on Tuesday, facing off against an Ottawa Senators team allowing a league-worst 5.0 goals per game through six contests (2-4-0). The Oilers enter the matchup as -123 road favorites.

The Oilers will turn to Skinner between the pipes for the third time this season when they travel to Long Island on Thursday. Skinner was spectacular in his last outing, stopping all 30 shots he faced in a 2-0 shutout win over the Rangers on Tuesday. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Thursday, as the Oilers enter action at -165 on the money line.
The Oilers have split starts in their 2025-26 season (1-0-1) and will return to their season-opening starter, Stuart Skinner, on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 26-year-old Skinner was serviceable in his only start of the season, saving 19 of 22 shots (.864 SV%), but mishandled a puck in the third period, resulting in a goal en route to an eventual 4-3 shootout loss to the Calgary Flames. The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as -134 road favorites against a Rangers team that has failed to score in two of their four games this season (2-2-0).
Coming off a forgetful 2024-25 season where he posted a 2.81 GAA and .896 SV% in 51 outings (26-18-4), Skinner will hope to return to the form that made him a top-15 netminder in his previous two seasons. The Oilers are expected to have one of the NHL's best offenses again in 2025-26, which should allow Skinner to accumulate plenty of victories. The 26-year-old netminder will be between the pipes in Edmonton's season opener on Wednesday, entering the contest as sizable -214 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.
Skinner was pulled after along three goals on 17 shots in the Oilers' come-from-behind 5-4 OT win in Game 4.

Skinner has had a tough time in the Stanley Cup Final, posting a 4.20 GAA and .860 SV% in four games.

Skinner has now given up at least three goals in all three games of the series, posting a 3.74 GAA and .866 SV%. Despite a tough Game 3, the Oilers will come back to Skinner in Game 4. He's dominated Game 4s in his career, going 6-0 with a 1.26 GAA, .955 SV% and two shutouts.
Skinner battled for 85 minutes in Game 2 but ultimately ended up with the loss, stopping 37 of the 42 shots he faced in the 5-4 defeat. The double-overtime loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Skinner and the Oilers, and more importantly evened up the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals at a game a piece. Edmonton enters action on Monday at +115 on the money line as the series shifts to Sunrise for Game 3.
Skinner will look to extend his playoff winning streak to six after beating Florida in overtime in Game 1 off a 29-save (.906 SV%) performance. The 26-year-old has been sensational since his opening round struggles, with a 7-1-0 record and a .938 SV% in his previous eight games played.

Skinner has been outstanding in the third round of the playoffs, saving 86 of 88 shots (.977 SV%) in his last three games (3-0). The Oilers enter Thursday's contest as +116 road underdogs against a desperate Dallas Stars team.
