Stuart Skinner - NHL News & Rumors

Tough outing Friday Skinner stopped 28 of 32 shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Skinner allowed five goals on 64 shots over his two preseason starts. The 27-year-old faced the Avalanche both times, and while he struggled Friday, he looks prepared for the upcoming campaign. Expect Skinner to get as many starts as he can handle early in the season, as the Jets will likely want to ease Domenic DiVincentiis into the backup role.

Starting in Colorado Skinner will guard the road goal in Friday's preseason game versus the Avalanche, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact Skinner did well in his first start of the preseason, stopping 31 of 32 shots against the Avalanche. The 27-year-old is poised to be the top goalie for the Jets to begin the season, though that could change if the team gets a goalie back in any eventual trade for Connor Hellebuyck (suspension). Skinner is set to have Domenic DiVincentiis as his backup to open the campaign.

Shines in Jets debut Skinner halted 31 of 32 shots on net in Monday's 3-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.

Impact Skinner excelled in his debut with Winnipeg, as he upheld a shutout through the first 54 minutes of the contest. Across 50 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, he posted a 23-17-9 record, a 2.92 GAA and an .888 save percentage. The 27-year-old netminder has been the victim of mixed opinions over the past few seasons, but he's currently looking sharp as the projected lead option between the pipes to open the season with Connor Hellebuyck (suspension) away from the team. From the outside looking in, Skinner looks poised to handle a hefty workload in the 2026-27 campaign.

Starting Monday's preseason game Skinner will start Monday's preseason game at home against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets in July and could begin the regular season as Winnipeg's primary goaltender since Connor Hellebuyck has been suspended by the team amid his looming trade request. Skinner made 50 regular-season appearances between the Oilers and Penguins last year, going 23-17-9 with a 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage.

Heading north Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Skinner had a 23-17-9 record, 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage in 50 regular-season outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh in 2025-26. It was his second straight regular season with a save percentage below .900. For now, Skinner projects to be Winnipeg's No. 2 netminder behind Connor Hellebuyck, but there's been speculation about the possibility of Hellebuyck being traded this summer. If that happens, then Skinner would probably begin 2026-27 as Winnipeg's starting goaltender.

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.

Impact 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 Dam Muse may have to consider switching to Arturs Silvos between the pipes to try and spark a comeback.
