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

Pulled from Sunday's loss
GEdmonton Oilers
May 12, 2024
Skinner allowed four goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.
ANALYSIS
Skinner played the first two periods and saw a little more ice time late in the third after some gamesmanship from head coach Kris Knoblauch. Skinner's play remains a serious concern -- the Canucks have fired 58 shots at him over three contests, but he's let in 12 goals while losing two of those games. The Oilers were able to cover the 25-year-old in the first round, but they've had less success in that regard against the Canucks. Per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Knoblauch wouldn't commit to sticking with Skinner for Game 4 on Tuesday. Calvin Pickard made three saves in Sunday's contest, but veteran Jack Campbell could also be an option should the Oilers get desperate in the next week.

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.
