The Edmonton Oilers are poised for Game 3 of their playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights, holding a 2-0 lead after two road victories. However, injury concerns loom large as starting goalie Calvin Pickard has been downgraded to day-to-day. Coach Kris Knoblauch has confirmed that Stuart Skinner will take over as the starting goalie. Skinner's postseason stats raise eyebrows; he has a 3.97 GAA and .875 save percentage against Vegas.

This playoff run has placed significant pressure on Skinner, who hasn’t played since being pulled in Game 2 of the first round against the Los Angeles Kings after conceding five goals on 28 shots. With Skinner's regular season numbers of 22 wins, 10 losses, a 2.81 GAA, and .896 save percentage, will he be able to step up in such a critical moment?
