Jay Woodcroft Reveals The Edmonton Oilers Starting Goaltender For Tonight's Must-Win Game 2
In tonight's Oilers playoff game 2 of round 1, the team is in search of a win in their last game of home ice advantage in Edmonton until game 5, if they can get to that point. The team has announced that Skinner will be starting in goal against LA. Despite the Oilers losing game 1, Skinner had a solid performance in net saving 31 out of 35 shots on goal.
He took full accountability for the loss and is determined to help the Oilers bounce back and secure a win.
However, there is some concern surrounding Janmark's absence from the ice for "maintenance reasons." The forward is questionable for tonight's game and his absence could impact the team's performance.
The Oilers will need to bring their best game to the ice tonight and make the most of their home ice advantage before heading on the road for the next few games.
