The Edmonton Oilers have Stanley Cup aspirations after narrowly losing in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last season in heartbreaking fashion. To get there again, goaltender Stuart Skinner needs to be much better.

The Oilers will be without Stuart Skinner for at least Thursday's tilt against the Kraken after he was injured vs. the Stars on Wednesday.

Stuart Skinner, who left Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Stars in the third period, is considered day-to-day, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters on Thursday ahead of their match against the Seattle Kraken.
