Skinner gives up awful goal at critical moment in Game 6

Edmonton Oilers netminder Stuart Skinner has given up an absolutely awful goal at a critical moment in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final this evening.

With the Oilers down 2-0 to the Florida Panthers late in the 2nd period, Skinner bobbled a harmless looking point shot and coughed up a terrible rebound that ultimately ended up in the back of the net for a 3-0 Panthers lead.

Watch Skinner cough up a fur ball to Panthers captain Sasha Barkov who banks it off teammate Sam Reinhart and in for a 3-0 lead.

The Panthers are now just 20 minutes away from back to back Stanley Cup championships.
