Jack Campbell came in after Stuart Skinner was pulled after one period in Game 4 and made 27 saves against his former team to put himself in position to possibly start Game 5 on Tuesday night in Edmonton. Should the Oilers start Skinner or Campbell in Game 5? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron shares his thoughts.

Soup is back. It’s rebound time for him I think he should start
Skinner easily
this is what happens when you have 2 Back-up goaltenders
Skinner got the Oilers to the playoffs. He has earned the right to start game 5.
Campbell played shit teams down the stretch.. SJ, Arizona, and Anaheim twice, those teams were competing for the Bedard sweepstakes. LA is a much better team than those 3 teams. He played great coming in relief for Skinner last night but I don't trust Campbell. The Oilers will cheat for more offense with Campbell in net cause he's never been known to keep his GAA down. He's guaranteed to give up 4 GA.
As a leafs fan, I would legitimately take my chances with a shooter tutor in the net over jack campbell in an important game
Video could have been 15 seconds long. Campbell did what Skinner couldnt last night. That was painful to watch until Soup got in net. I would have liked to see how the games would have went if Campbell had been in net during games 1 and 3. Oilers in 5. Lets go!
I’m just glad the refs won us the game this time.
Skinner has been doing great
Start Campbell…lose. Start Skinner maybe win.
Skinner – it's a must win and he was the better keeper all year
Skinner showed that he can't handle heat, since the start of the playoffs. Put Campbell in please
Start skinner. He has played great before that period. One bad period shouldn’t make you sit him. Campbell is too risky this far in a series
Campbell
Campbell came in and made the beautiful saves he needed to, to keep the Oilers in the game. But I don’t think we should push it too much, Skinner has been a very consistent goalie the majority of the year where Jack can be hit and miss. I’m not trying to dwell on the past, but I think Skinner is a much calmer, stable and confident goalie than Campbell. I don’t think we should risk our season starting Jack based off of 2 periods because who knows if Jack would’ve been able to stop those 3 goals anyway.
Campbell all the way.
I would put Skinner back in. He is the starter and has been the more solid goalie over the season. Campbell did a fantastic job coming in off the bench, but it's quite a different ballgame to be the starter. I could easily see Jack getting lit up for an early goal or two if he starts the next game (as has happened so often this season). Then what do you do? Much better to put Skinner right back in as starter, and keep a confident Cambell on the bench, ready to come in when/if needed.
Those last 4 games were also against bottom feeders, you cannot try and justify him starting by looking at numbers against 4 teams that are fighting for bedard, that's 2 games against anaheim, 1 against Arizona, and 1 against san jose.
I’d say Campbell at least earned a start next game he kept the oilers in it last game when the oilers didn’t have anything going and gave the team the chance too win. Skinner been good but maybe a break is what he needs play Campbell tomorrow
Campbell, skinner let a goal in across the pads that should have been covered and he watched it dance across for like 4 seconds. Experience in league and tourney are two different things and Skinner needs more experience (confidence) to reflect that. Campbell stayed ready so he didn't have to get ready haha
Is this guy speaking English? Couldn’t understand a word he said.
Listen Cambell was great but so has skinner, you have no idea what your going to get with soup could be bad could be good skinner will most likely be good
I think woody should start Campbell also because skinner is tired!…he seems to throw up a real stinker every four games or so!…let skinner rest until Saturday!
I would not start Campbell. Although he played well yesterday, I still don't trust him. He looks too small and is not calm, cool and collected.
