Skinner should draw his first start of the season Tuesday as the Oilers host the Sabres on home ice. The Edmonton native was phenomenal in relief of Jack Campbell Saturday stopping all 31 of 31 shots while limiting the damage in the Oilers' 4-3 loss to Calgary. He enjoyed a strong first rookie season in 2021-22, collecting a .913 SV% while winning six of 12 starts.
Hellebuyck will draw his second start of the early season as Winnipeg heads to Dallas for a Central division matchup. The Jets' netminder was sensational in Winnipeg's opening night victory over the New York Rangers, stopping 40 of 41 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. He will look to keep his hot play going after finishing 2021-22 with a .910 SV%.
Ferraro was listed as questionable after getting nicked up in Wednesday's practice, but he was on the ice for Friday's morning skate and is good to go vs. the Hurricanes. Ferraro has two assists and four shots on goal through two games.
Hellebuyck will get the nod for Winnepeg as they open their season against the New York Rangers Friday. The 29-year-old faces a lot of rubber as he led the league in Saves (1962) in 2021-22 on way to a .910 SV% with 29 Wins in 66 GP.

Nyquist suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's preseason game is considered day-to-day. Nyquist is expected to be a member of the Blue Jackets' top-6, but if he misses any time, expect someone like Kent Johnson to potentially move up the depth chart.
The Jets selected Salomonsson in the second-round (No.55 overall) of this summer's NHL Draft. The 17-year-old defenseman had 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 35 games with Skelleftea AIK Jr. (J20 SuperElit) in 2022.
Fleury was the No.7 overall pick in 2014, was traded to Anaheim in 2021 and claimed in the expansion draft by Seattle later that year. He had two goals and two assists (four points) in 36 games with the Kraken in 2021-22. The Lightning lost Ryan McDonagh and Jan Rutta this offseason, so bringing in Ian Cole and Fleury on cheap contracts will help try and replace those two.
