Stuart Skinner (born November 1, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was a third round selection, 78th overall, in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Oilers.

Playing career[]

Skinner played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Swift Current Broncos.[1]

Skinner also scored an empty net goal with the Lethbridge Hurricanes on March 18, 2016 against the Medicine Hat Tigers, making him the seventh goaltender in WHL history, and the only goaltender in franchise history, to do so.[2]

After his selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Skinner was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers on May 14, 2018.[3]

Entering the final year of his entry-level contract, Skinner remained on the Oilers roster to start the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season. With an injury to veteran Mike Smith, Skinner served as the Oilers backup to Mikko Koskinen through the first 9 games.[4] He made his NHL debut and first career start on January 31, 2021 against the Ottawa Senators, collecting his first win in an 8–5 victory.[5]
