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.

Tending twine Friday

October 4, 2024
Skinner is slated to be in the road crease for Friday's preseason game against Vancouver, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Skinner will make his third exhibition start of the year during Friday's preseason finale. Most recently, he turned aside 21 of 23 shots in a home loss to the Canucks on Monday. The 25-year-old should see another heavy workload in 2024-25 as the Oilers' clear-cut No. 1 goaltender.

NHL Picks: Stanley Cup Final Betting Picks for Edmonton Oilers vs. Florida Panthers, Game 7
102 days ago
The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers face off in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and Daniel Dobish has the Best Bets and Player Props for Monday, June 24.
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.
