Stuart Skinner's Name Being Tossed Around in Serious Speculation: And It's Good
Since March 1, Stuart Skinner has been on fire, winning 11 of his last 13 games and posting an impressive 11-1-1 record. His recent achievements have earned him a place alongside Matt Murray as the only rookie goaltenders to have won more than 25 games in the last 12 years.
Skinner's remarkable performance has led to speculation that he could be in contention for the Calder Trophy, which is awarded to the NHL's top rookie player. However, with no rookie likely to hit 60 points this season, Skinner could potentially be Edmonton's first Calder winner in many years.
With Skinner's recent form, he could potentially be the next player to end this drought and bring home the coveted award to Edmonton.
