The Oilers return to action on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers and will turn to Skinner between the pipes. The 26-year-old Skinner has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.74 GAA and .900 SV% in 37 games (20-12-4).
Savoie was at Oilers' practice on Tuesday, and his call-up is expected to be made official before Saturday's game.

Philp will be the odd-man out when the Oilers travel to Chicago on Wednesday. He'll sit in order to make room for the return of Adam Henrique (undisclosed).
Henrique will slot back into the lineup after missing Tuesday's game in St. Louis. Noah Philp will sit in his place.
Pickard will get the starting nod for the tail-end of Edmonton's back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday. Pickard was excellent in his last outing, stopping 26 of the 28 shots he faced in a 4-2 victory over the Kraken on January 27th. Pickard boasts an impressive 13-4-0 record and a .901 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -260 on the money line.
Philp will slot in for Adam Henrique, who was a late scratch on Tuesday. Philp has zero goals and two assists in 11 games this season.
