2024 Fantasy Outlook
Skinner's 2023-24 swung harder than a pendulum. He started the season with a painful 3-9-1 record and a .891 save percentage. Then in late November, he started a run where he looked like a Vezina candidate. Finally, Skinner got benched in the second round of the playoffs. It was what he needed to reset his game and almost win a Cup. Fantasy-wise, the hometown goalie finished tied for third overall in wins (36) alongside Sergei Bobrovsky and Igor Shesterkin. Despite that bad start, Skinner finished with a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage overall. Along the way, he supplanted the great Grant Fuhr for the franchise record for consecutive wins (12). Skinner has the potential to be a top-tier netminder if he can put together a complete season. He'll get that shot in 2024-25 with a heavy workload and top-eight finishes in every fantasy category.

ANALYSIS
Skinner is coming off a 20-save effort in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3. He has posted a record of 0-3 with a 5.36 GAA and an .817 save percentage while allowing 15 goals on 82 shots in 168:02 of playing time this postseason. Calvin Pickard (undisclosed) will miss his second straight outing and remains day-to-day.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Skinner went from a relative unknown to the Oilers' starting goalie in 2022-23, posting a 29-14-5 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 50 contests. That's just about in line with his 13-game sample from 2021-22, and it's enough to project him as the Oilers' top goalie in 2023-24 after he was a finalist for the Calder Trophy. Skinner doesn't have to be great to rack up wins with the Oilers' offense on his side, but he's got a good sample of NHL action on his resume. He's likely a top-15 goalie in fantasy this year, and if he continues to improve with experience, he could push his way into the top 10.
There's a real case to be made that Skinner was Edmonton's best goaltender a season ago, but the team still refused to give him an extended run as the No. 1 option, instead preferring to rely on veterans Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen. Skinner played in 13 games for the Oilers in 2021-22, posting a mediocre 6-6-0 record and a solid 2.62 GAA and .913 save percentage. Koskinen is gone and Smith is injured and unlikely to ever play again, but Edmonton signed Jack Campbell to a lucrative deal in free agency in July to serve as the team's starter. Skinner is penciled in as the backup, leaving him with little to no fantasy appeal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start Saturday
GEdmonton Oilers
May 10, 2025
Skinner could be between the home pipes versus Vegas on Saturday in Game 3, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Calvin Pickard was not on the ice Saturday morning at practice and may be dealing with an injury from Game 2 on Thursday. Skinner started the opening two games of the playoffs in Los Angeles and was less than stellar, allowing 11 goals on 58 shots before Pickard took over, winning the next six games in a row. Should Pickard be unavailable for Saturday's contest, look for Skinner to start with Olivier Rodrigue as the backup.
