Stuart Skinner - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Beaten once Sunday Skinner stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Skinner was beaten by Viktor Arvidsson's backhander in the first period, and that would be all the offense the Bruins would generate throughout the game. Even though Skinner posted a strong showing between the posts, the offense didn't support, and that led to him ending his three-game winning streak. He continues to play well at an individual level despite the win-loss record, though, as Skinner has now posted four straight games with a save percentage of at least .915.
