Set to start Saturday Skinner is set to start at home against Dallas on Saturday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Impact Skinner stopped 26 of 29 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over Ottawa on Thursday. He's 21-14-9 with a 2.88 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 44 outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this season. Dallas is a difficult matchup with its 43-18-11 record in 2025-26, but the Stars have dropped their past four games (0-3-1) while being outscored 13-8.

Just second win in last nine starts Skinner made 26 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over the Senators on Thursday.

Impact It was Skinner's second win in a nine-game span dating back to Feb. 3. He is 2-2-5 in that period. In contrast, his platoon mate Arturs Silovs is 6-3-0 in nine starts in the same period. The Pens are committed to this platoon, but the Skinner side is clearly the weaker half. The team will want to hold onto second in the Metropolitan, especially if Sidney Crosby, who suffered a lower-body injury in the game, is out of commission for long.

Starting against Ottawa Skinner will start Thursday's road game against Ottawa, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Skinner has alternated starts with Arturs Silovs since the Olympic break, and that trend will continue Thursday. Across seven starts since the league's layoff, Skinner has gone 1-2-4 with a 3.33 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Another subpar showing Skinner allowed four goals on 25 shots faced in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fifth goal he allowed was an empty-netter.

Impact Skinner has been slumping badly in recent weeks. He has dropped seven of his last eight starts since the beginning of February while operating in a timeshare with Arturs Silovs, and he's allowed at least four goals in three of his last four during that stretch. With a 3.53 GAA and an .876 save percentage over that eight-game stretch, it's hard to justify Skinner remaining as the No. 1 option between the pipes for the Penguins. Don't be afraid to look at other options to strengthen your goaltending depth ahead of the fantasy playoffs as well, as Skinner is simply not producing enough to remain in a starting role in most formats outside of the very deep leagues.

Between pipes Sunday Skinner will protect the home net against Carolina on Sunday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Skinner will get the second half of the Penguins' back-to-back after Arturs Silovs played in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Winnipeg. The 27-year-old Skinner has gone 1-1-4 while allowing 20 goals on 186 shots in six games since returning from the Olympic break. Carolina sits fourth in the league with 3.48 goals per game this season.

Downed in OT Skinner made 38 saves in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Neither team was able to build more than a one-goal lead during regulation, and Sean Walker finally ended the see-saw affair with 29 seconds in OT by blasting a one-timer past Skinner. The six goals allowed were a season high for the 27-year-old netminder, but he's given up at least four in four of his last eight starts while working in a strict tandem with Arturs Silovs, going 2-1-5 over that stretch with a shaky 3.63 GAA and .869 save percentage

Slated to face Carolina Skinner is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Wednesday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Skinner has allowed at least three goals in each of his past three outings, totaling 10 goals on 89 shots (.888 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 20-13-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 41 outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this campaign. Carolina has been a mixed bag recently, going 2-3-0 while averaging 2.80 goals per game over its past five matches.

Yields three goals in win Skinner stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Skinner gave up the first two goals of the game as the Penguins' defense started out leaky, but he and the players in front of him improved later in the contest. The 27-year-old netminder had gone winless in his last five outings (0-1-4) with 16 goals allowed, so this was a much-needed performance. Skinner is up to 20-13-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 41 appearances this season, though his numbers have been slightly better with the Penguins than they were with the Oilers. He's best avoided in fantasy for the week ahead -- if the Penguins continue their goalie rotation, Skinner is lined up for two consecutive starts against the Eastern Conference's top team, the Hurricanes.
