Four-game win streak Skinner made 14 saves in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

Impact Skinner heads back for another run at Lord Stanley after enduring a tumultuous season and postseason, too. There are many who think he'd still be on bench if Calvin Pickard, who took the blue paint earlier in the playoffs, hadn't gotten hurt. But Skinner has battled, regained his confidence and gotten better. He has won four straight games, including one by shutout, and he heads into the Finals against Florida with a 6-4 record (10 games) with a 2.52 GAA and .904 save percentage. Three of those wins have come by shutout.

Sharp again in Game 4 Skinner allowed a goal on 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Stars in Game 4.

Impact Skinner continues to have the upper hand in the Western Conference Finals. He's allowed just two goals on 88 shots over the last three games, winning all of them to put the Oilers a victory away from returning to the Stanley Cup Finals. After some early doubts about his abilities, Skinner looks locked in as Edmonton's top goalie even with Calvin Pickard healthy enough to serve as backup Tuesday. Game 5 is Thursday in Dallas.

Cruises to Game 3 win Skinner stopped 33 of 34 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Stars in Game 3.

Impact Skinner has now won four of his last five games, allowing just six goals in that span. The only goal against him came on a deflected shot, with Jason Robertson getting credit for the tally. Skinner's inconsistency in the postseason is mildly concerning, but it's easy to overlook when he's in a groove like he is currently. He'll likely get the nod again in Game 4 on Tuesday with a chance to give the Oilers a 3-1 series lead.
