NHL Goalie Tandems Ranked: Which Unexpected Duos Could Make or Break Their Teams This Season?
31. Edmonton Oilers
| Goalie | Record | Save % | GSAX |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9-7-3 | .885 | 3.45 | |
| 2-3-2 | .847 | -3.69 |
Stuart Skinner’s 25-save shutout against Seattle on Saturday may quiet things for a bit, but the noise around the Oilers’ struggles in net still seems louder than ever. It’s easy to see why. The two-time defending Western Conference champs are currently outside a playoff position and rank last in team save percentage.
When Skinner is on, he’s a strong starting goalie. He uses his size well to take away shooting options and plays with good structure when he’s reading plays well. He just hasn’t been at his best nearly as consistently as Edmonton needs. He also doesn’t have the strongest reinforcement behind him. Calvin Pickard’s -3.69 GSAx brings his career total to -41.26, which ranks 251st out of 258 goalies to play since 2014.
