Skinner is expected to start on Tuesday vs. Detroit.

After a franchise-best 16-game winning streak, the Oilers have lost two of their last three contests, both with Skinner between the pipes.

Despite dropping his past two outings, Skinner has played respectably, allowing only five goals while posting a .900 SV%.
