Skinner's entire game tracked mostly positive, overall, this year after a slow start
He battled back from very poor stats in the first couple months of the season and ended with an impressive 2.62 GAA / .905 save percentage - considering how the year started
In his last ten game segment he posted a 6-3-0-1 record - his save percentage slipped to .892 and GAA jumped to 2.89.
Big body goalie. When he drops to the butterfly he still takes up a ton of net / sits upright / doesn't get leaning forward.
Rebound control is key to his success. Pucks in front of him are handled well. When plays spill to the flanks he is tested with his lateral push / quickness at times.
The team in front of him is elite offensively - but do give up high danger chances against more than some contending teams - Needs to start every game 'on time' and give the group confidence to play to their identity.

Young goaltender who took a massive step forward last season and won the net in Edmonton
Big in the net - tall in his butterfly - takes up a ton of space - Strong regular season stats - 2.73 GAA - .914 save % - not elite however - room to go to another level before being christened a #1A. Appeared to run out of focus in playoffs. Battled - but not the same goalie he was in regular season. He will be better for the experience in the long run. Playoffs produced 3.68 GAA and .883 save % . Areas he can improve on include - starting on time some nights / first stops / high blocker when dropping to his butterfly / and occasional rebound control issues - with pucks spilling out to the flank instead of direct corners. Like any young goalie - when he's 'on' he's hard to beat.
