Despite a disappointing performance in Game 1, the Oilers will stick with Skinner between the pipes for Game 2 on Friday. After posting back-to-back shutouts to close out the second round, Skinner struggled in the opening game of round three, allowing five goals on 27 shots in the eventual 6-3 defeat. Skinner and the Oilers enter action on Friday at an even +100 on the money line.
Skinner stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Oilers' shutout overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 5. That is now back-to-back shutouts for Skinner, who owns a 1.28 GAA, .944 SV% and 2-1 record since returning to the Oilers' crease in Game 3 vs. Vegas. Against the Stars in the 2024 playoffs, Skinner was 4-2 with a 1.91 GAA and .922 SV%.

Skinner stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Oilers' shutout win over the Golden Knights in Game 4. It was by far his best performance of the postseason so far, and puts the Oilers one win away from the Western Conference Finals.
With Calvin Pickard remaining out due to an undisclosed injury, Stuart Skinner will start his second game in a row as Edmonton hosts Vegas on Monday for Game 4. Skinner allowed a late third-period goal (0.04 seconds) and struggled in Game 3 after allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in his first game since Game 2 of Edmonton's opening series. He will host the Golden Knights on Monday, who are looking to even the series at two before they head back to Vegas for Game 5 later in the week.
Skinner has not played since losing the first two games of Round 1 against the Los Angeles Kings when he allowed 11 goals on 58 combined shots (.810 SV%).

The 26-year-old Skinner appeared in 51 games during the regular season (26-18-4), posting a 2.81 GAA and .896 SV%. The Oilers enter Game 3 as -114 home favourites against a Golden Knights team desperate for a victory.
Schenn has appeared in all eight playoff games for the Jets so far, but it looks like he'll be the one that sits if Josh Morrissey plays in Game 2. Schenn has just one assist and a minus-9 rating in the postseason.
Morrissey missed Game 1 with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Game 7 vs. The Blues. Morrissey skated in his usual spot next to Dylan DeMelo and on PP1 in the morning skate, and head coach Scott Arniel called him probable to play in Game 2.
Morrissey was a game-time decision for Game 1 but was unable to suit up and will return to a similar "up in the air" status ahead of Game 2 vs. Dallas on Friday. The 30-year-old defender went down early in Game 7 of Winnipeg's opening round vs. St. Louis and has been a massive loss without his presence in the lineup. His status is expected to be updated in Winnipeg's warm up on Friday night.
Scheifele missed the final two games of Winnipeg's opening series with an undisclosed injury but appears set to return for Game 1 vs. Dallas. The 32-year-old was over a point-per-game with six points in the first five games of this year's playoffs before his untimely injury.
Morrissey was forced to leave Game 7 of Winnipeg's opening-round series after just 2:09 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was a game-time decision for Game 1 vs. Dallas on Wednesday. The 30-year-old struggled to produce offensively in Winnipeg's opening series, with just three assists and a -5 plus/minus.

Morrissey suffered an upper-body injury in the Jets' Game 7 win over the Blues, but returned to practice on Tuesday. The Jets didn't provide much of an update on his status after the session, so monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.
Scheifele has skated for the past several days and appears to be getting close to returning to the Jets' lineup. The team wouldn't commit to him playing in Game 1, so he remains day-to-day and is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday.
