Stuart Skinner absolutely robs Florida Panthers Aaron Ekblad to set the tone
Despite trailing 3-1 in their Stanley Cup final series against the Florida Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers prevailed 8-1 in game four, giving them hope that they wouldn't be out of the picture just yet. Fast forward to tonight and the team is still in the driver's seat.
Goalie Stuart Skinner had to make an absurd save early in the first period as the Panthers were circling the Oilers zone.
Even though the Panthers have a chance to win the Stanley Cup tonight evening, plays like the one mentioned above are among the many factors that have allowed them to advance this far in the playoffs�particularly to game six.
You're only as good as the goalie that carries you when you're playing in the Stanley Cup final, despite the old cliche that the Oilers will go as far as McDavid and Draisaitl carry them. Stuart Skinner has been a big factor in the Oilers' ability to play this late in the season, despite his numerous mistakes over the past ten days.
