Skinner stops 18 shots in Penguins' overtime loss to Islanders

Stuart Skinner started for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the New York Islanders, stopping 18 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss. This performance comes after an impressive run since his December 12th trade to the Penguins, where he posted an 8-1-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .917 SV% over his last nine games. However, he allowed a rebound that led to Bo Horvat's first goal and was beaten by Horvat on an overtime breakaway. The Olympic break is noted as coming at a good time for Skinner after this outing.
