2025 Fantasy Outlook
Skinner had his worst season as a No. 1 goalie in 2024-25, posting a 26-18-4 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .896 save percentage over 51 regular-season outings. He had some injuries late in the campaign, and while he opened the postseason as the Oilers' top goalie, he yielded those duties to Calvin Pickard after two games, temporarily took it back, then was replaced again during the Stanley Cup Finals. Skinner's $2.6 million cap hit is manageable -- it's not enough to guarantee him a hearty share of playing time if his performance doesn't match. Both Skinner and Pickard are under contract for 2025-26, but with the cap rising, the Oilers may consider an upgrade in goal before next season. Skinner's been fine most of the time, but his playoff struggles cast some doubt on his long-term outlook with the team. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $7.8 million contract with the Oilers in December of 2022.
Flops in Philly
Skinner stopped 24 of 28 shots Wednesday during the Penguins' 5-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 3 of their first-round series. Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net.
ANALYSIS
Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, but Skinner let it slip away in a shaky second period that saw him give up three goals on 15 shots. With the Penguins facing elimination in Game 4 on Saturday and Skinner carrying a 3.08 GAA and .873 save percentage while losing the first three games of the series, coach Dan Muse may have to consider switching to Arturs Silovs between the pipes to try and spark a comeback.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Ottawa?
Skinner has been linked to signing with the Senators, per Kevin Weekes of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
After an up-and-down season between the Oilers and Penguins, Skinner is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Reports near the start of June indicated that Sergei Murashov will probably win a roster spot in Pittsburgh, making the Penguins unlikely to re-sign Skinner. Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark has never played in more than 49 games in a single regular season, so Ottawa will likely have interest in a netminder who can take more of the workload than your typical understudy and even slot into the No. 1 spot if needed. Skinner certainly fits that bill after logging at least 50 regular-season outings in each of his past four campaigns in addition to his 53 total playoff starts across that same span.
