Edmonton Oilers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Cruises to win Monday
GEdmonton Oilers
April 15, 2024
Skinner stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
The Oilers erupted for four goals in the first period and followed it up with a five-goal second, giving Skinner one of his easiest wins of the year. The 25-year-old has won five of his last seven outings, giving up 14 goals in that span. He's at 36-15-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 58 appearances this season. The Oilers have a road back-to-back left on the schedule with stops in Arizona on Wednesday and Colorado on Thursday, so both Skinner and Calvin Pickard should be penciled in for one more start in the regular season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starter
GEdmonton Oilers
April 15, 2024
Skinner is in the starter's crease at morning skate, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV, likely putting him on track to guard the home goal versus San Jose on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Skinner was pretty sharp in his last start Monday against San Jose, stopping 24 of 26 shots, but he was still stuck with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. Assuming he gets the nod Monday, he'll try to return to the win column in a highly favorable home matchup with a Sharks team that's a disastrous 8-27-4 on the road this year.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.
