Stuart Skinner - NHL News & Rumors

No regulation loss since early Jan. Skinner made 23 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Skinner hasn't lost in regulation since Jan. 11; he's now 5-0-2 in his last seven starts. And he's 8-1-2 since Christmas. Skinner allowed 12 goals in his first three games in Pittsburgh. But since then, he has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of 11 games. Skinner's .890 save percentage and 2.66 GAA in black and gold are mid, at best, but that GAA is among the best of his career. And that includes his 36-16-5 season in 2023-24 when he registered a 2.62 GAA and .905 save percentage. Pennsylvania seems to suit him.

Facing Rangers Skinner will defend the visiting goal against the Rangers on Saturday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skinner is 19-12-5 with a pair of shutouts in 36 starts for Pittsburgh and Edmonton this season. One of his two shutouts were against the Rangers on Oct. 14, stopping 30 shots while a member of the Oilers. The Rangers are tied for 27th in scoring, averaging 2.60 goals per game.

Surrenders five goals Skinner stopped 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact Skinner's five-game winning streak came to a crashing halt with this performance. This is the second outing in a row that he's given up five goals, so the upcoming Olympic break should provide a beneficial reset for the 27-year-old netminder. He's now at a 19-12-5 record with a 2.79 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 36 starts. The Penguins have been alternating goalies lately, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Arturs Silovs get the nod versus the Sabres on Thursday.

Scheduled to start on Long Island Skinner is slated to start in Tuesday's road divisional matchup versus the Islanders, according to NHL.com.

Impact Skinner will tend the twine in the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Arturs Silovs was in goal for Monday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa. The Islanders also played Monday, losing 4-1 to the Capitals, so neither team has the rest advantage Tuesday. Skinner faced the Isles on Oct. 16 when he was with the Oilers, making 21 saves on 24 shots in a 4-2 loss. The 27-year-old netminder is 2-2-0 with a .900 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA over four career appearances against the Islanders.

The 27-year-old netminder still came away with his fifth straight win, and over eight outings in January he went 7-1-0 with a sharp 2.13 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Earns win over Flames Skinner stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Skinner picked up his third consecutive win and his fifth in six outings in January. The 27-year-old netminder also started consecutive games for the first time in his Penguins tenure, which suggests he may be pulling away from a timeshare with Arturs Silovs. On the season, Skinner is 17-12-4 with a 2.67 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 33 starts, but he's been better in Pittsburgh than he was in Edmonton. He'll likely avoid a rematch with his former team, as it will probably be Silovs between the pipes Thursday versus the Oilers to complete this back-to-back set.
