Insider claims Stuart Skinner has played his last game for Edmonton after humiliating outing

Tuesday night was a night Edmonton Oilers fans will want to forget. Goalie Stuart Skinner allowed four goals on just eight shots in the first period against the Dallas Stars, prompting a quick hook. Calvin Pickard replaced him for the middle frame, only to be met with mockery and a bronx cheer after stopping his very first shot.

The fanbase, already on edge from inconsistent goaltending, may be approaching a breaking point. Amid the chaos, Oilers insider Mathew Panchyshyn claimed this could be the last game Skinner plays for Edmonton.

Skinner, who has faced scrutiny throughout the season, struggled to regain composure after the first frame. His replacement, Pickard, was immediately put in a pressure cooker environment, like most times this season, greeted by fan ridicule the moment he entered the crease. The situation underscores the tension in Edmonton between championship expectations and fan patience.

While no official announcement has been made by the Oilers organization or any other prominent insider, Panchyshyn’s report hints at major changes in net could be imminent.

For Skinner, this outing may mark a turning point in his tenure with the team, one that could lead to a trade or other organizational shake-up.

Edmonton’s goaltending woes are now a focal point for discussion, and with the season still in progress, the Oilers will need to act decisively if they hope to stabilize their crease and satisfy an increasingly impatient fanbase.

The Oilers ended up losing 8-3 to Dallas on a night that was supposed to be special as Edmonton held its Hockey Fights Cancer last night.
