Stuart Skinner News

Impressive early-season performances from Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson made Connor Hellebuyck's (suspension) absence an afterthought, but recent struggles are keeping Winnipeg's crease uncertain. That said, even in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in his previous game, Skinner played well, stopping 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%). The 27-year-old Canadian goalie has a 2.65 GAA and .910 SV% in six games (3-1-2). The Jets enter Thursday's game as +174 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team with points in six of its last seven games (5-1-1).

Skinner has been stellar early in his tenure with the Jets and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. The 27-year-old goalie was outstanding in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche.

Skinner's Winnipeg debut could have certainly gone better, allowing four goals on 30 shots (.867 SV%) and dropping an overtime matchup vs. Boston. The 27-year-old was thrust into Winnipeg's starting crease after Connor Hellebuyck stayed home due to a trade request and will hope to get himself back in the win column after picking up 23 victories with both Pittsburgh and Edmonton in 2025-26. He heads to Detroit to take on the Red Wings, who were blanked in their opening-night matchup vs. New York, 2-0.

With a highly publicized trade request keeping three-time Vezina-winning goalie Connor Hellebuyck out of the lineup, the Jets will rely on Stuart Skinner to open their season against the Boston Bruins. Skinner was highly scrutinized during his time with the Edmonton Oilers, but had a fresh start last year in a mid-season trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins. That said, the 27-year-old goalie's struggles continued in Pittsburgh, posting a 2.99 GAA and .885 SV% in 27 outings (12-9-5). The Jets enter Friday as slight -117 home favourites against the Bruins.

Rumours have circulated about the Winnipeg Jets regarding a possible trade of starting goalie Connor Hellebuyck. It's unclear if these rumours will come to fruition this offseason, but the team added some depth to their goaltending position in the interim, signing Stuart Skinner to a two-year contract worth $7.5 million ($3.75M AAV). The 27-year-old Skinner battled adversity during his tenure with the Edmonton Oilers, ultimately being dealt last season to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he posted a 2.95 GAA and .885 SV% in 27 games (12-9-5).

Skinner was serviceable for Pittsburgh in Game Two, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%), but received no goal support in a 3-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, as the offensively-challenged Penguins fell to a 0-2 series deficit. The 27-year-old Skinner has saved 38 of 43 shots (.884 SV%) through two games in the series and will need to be at his best on Wednesday in Game Three, with the Penguins entering a pivotal contest as slight +101 road underdogs.
