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.

Blanks Kings on Monday

January 14, 2025
Skinner turned aside all 30 shots he faced in Monday's 1-0 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
A brilliant goaltending duel was settled by a Connor McDavid tally late in the second period, giving Skinner his second shutout of the season -- and second in his last three starts. The 26-year-old netminder has just one regulation loss in his last eight outings, going 6-1-1 with a stellar 1.89 GAA and .930 save percentage.

NHL DFS Picks: FanDuel Plays and Strategy for Tuesday, January 7
7 days ago
Stuart Skinner has a 4-0-1 record, 1.97 GAA and .924 save percentage across his past five starts. He's a solid goaltending option for Tuesday FanDuel NHL DFS contests.
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
Poised to start Monday
GEdmonton Oilers
January 13, 2025
Skinner is occupying the starter's crease at practice Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Skinner has been putting up solid numbers of late, going 4-1-1 with a 2.20 GAA and one shutout in his last six appearances. In those defeats, the 26-year-old backstop gave up four or more goals on both occasions but has been stellar in the wins. After Monday's contest, the Oilers will head into a back-to-back against the Wild and Avalanche on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, which means Skinner and Calvin Pickard figure to split the workload.
