Oilers G Skinner get start in must-win Game 6
Published
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will get the start between the pipes for Sunday's must-win Game 6 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Skinner, 24, has started every game of this series but was pulled in the Oilers' Game 5 loss after allowing four goals on 22 shots. He has been pulled in two of the Oilers past three games and has allowed 13 goals over three losses in the series.
TSN's Ryan Rishaug reports that Evander Kane skated on the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins skated on the wing with Leon Draisaitl and Kailer Yamamoto during the morning skate.
Edmonton trails Vegas 3-2 and looks to force a Game 7, which would take place on Tuesday night.
