Skinner's Strong Play Prompts Call for More Starts with Penguins

AutoDraft Pro AI

Stuart Skinner's strong play has led to calls for him to receive more starts for the Pittsburgh Penguins, potentially moving away from a goalie rotation. Since being acquired in December, Skinner has won five of his last six starts and boasts a .923 save percentage for January, his best month of the season. His performance has contributed to the Edmonton Oilers' decision to solidify a goaltending tandem with him and Tristan Jarry, leading to the likely reassignment of veteran Calvin Pickard to the AHL. Skinner's calming presence and confidence are noted as key factors.
