Stuart Skinner is the newest goalie in town for the Penguins, but that doesn't mean Kyle Dubas is going to gift him playing time.

Stuart Skinner’s time with the Edmonton Oilers was filled with epic highs and lows. Now, Skinner has the chance for a fresh start after a trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.

Skinner moves on as Devan Dubnyk did here in 2014. In a perfect world, he will stay in Pittsburgh and thrive, with younger hotshot Russian Sergei Murashov almost ready for the NHL, or he signs somewhere else and his game will continue to get better, like Dubnyk’s did when he found a home in Minnesota.

In an attempt to solve their goaltending woes, the Edmonton Oilers acquired Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday while sending the much-maligned Stuart Skinner the other way. Edmonton needed to make a move in goal, but is Jarry really the answer?

A simple goalie hug sparked wild trade rumors, but Stuart Skinner found the speculation hilarious, revealing the real reason behind the extra long embrace.

Skinner certainly had his share of vocal detractors among the Oilers fan base and on social media, who were always quick to point to the Oilers crease as not being up to par with the rest of the core roster driving the past two runs to the Stanley Cup Final.

Tonight, Stuart Skinner of the Edmonton Oilers will confront his most significant challenge of the 2025-26 season as he goes head-to-head with Jesper Wallstedt, the standout goalie for the Minnesota Wild.
