Skinner will get the nod in the Oilers' regular season finale on Thursday after Calvin Pickard got the start in Arizona on Wednesday. Skinner picked up the win his last time out, allowing two goals on 21 shots as the Oilers cruised to a 9-2 victory over the Sharks. The 25-year-old netminder rebounded nicely after a poor start to the season, posting a 36-15-5 record and a .907 SV% across 58 appearances. He will have his hands full on Thursday with the Oilers likely resting some key players in Colorado as they finish the season on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
