Stuart Skinner had a good 'almost full' season for the Oilers last year. Born in Edmonton, this 24 year old appeared in 50 games last year. He had 29 wins, a save percentage of .914 and a 2.75 goals against average.
Skinner played in last years Honda NHL All-Star Game, was named to last years NHL All-Rookie team and named a finalist for last year's Calder Trophy.
He also lead all rookie goalies with at least 10 games played in wins at 29, games played at 50, was third in save percentage with a .914 and fifth in goals-against average with a modest 2.75 GAA.
Skinner introduces a new change
Skinner and the rest of the Edmonton Oilers players finally bowed out to the eventual Stanley Cup winning team, the Vegas Golden Knights.....but what if Skinner could be significantly better this year. Edmonton was the number one team in the NHL in goals scored last year with 325. Mark my words, if Skinner can elevate his game this year, this Edmonton Oilers team could be this years Stanley Cup Champions!
