Should Oilers make a goalie switch for Game 4?



Stuart Skinner was pulled in the second period of Game 3 against the Golden Knights after giving up four goals on 23 shots. So far in the post-season, Skinner is 4-4 in nine starts with a 3.60 goals against average, and a .888 save percentage. Should the Oilers look to make a goalie change heading into Game 4? TSN Hockey analyst Dave Poulin shares his thoughts.

  1. Skinner or Campbell: Who would you start in Game 4 against the Golden Knights?

  2. Skinner has a "Damocles sword" on his head, the first minute and the last minute of every periods. Give Campbell the chance of cleaning the skunk air out!

  3. They should have let Cambell start game 2 or even game 1(i inderstand why they didnt game 1) they could've afforded to lose game 2 or 1 and have the knowlege of where Cambell is is he hot right now or is he still having a tough time. Now theyre forced into a prediciment on who to start with i feel like now you basically have no choice but to keep Skinner in net and have a pretty weak idea on how that 5 million dollar veteran goalie with a 0.91sv% is doing.

  4. I say give Campbell a game, he played incredible in relief of Skinner against the Kings in game 4.

  5. Stick with Skinner but keep a close eye on the situation. Don’t wait till it’s to late.

  6. No. Skinner stays in the net . He played well . Last game . Way to many 2 on 1 for Vegas. Oilers played terrible . Skinner and the pp was the only bright spot

  7. Defence left Skinner high and dry in game 3, thats not on him. He's shown he has the ability to compete at a high level, seems to be very calm and strong psychologically. Campbell himself said he takes loses personally, seems to beat himself up and have a weaker psychological game.

  8. After the beating they took last gsme they better change their work ethic if they want to advance.

  9. The Oilers need more players to score goals than just McD and Drai to win the game with either goalie.

  10. As a Oilers fan I don’t think goalie choice matters whether we win or lose. The team has to show up and play a full 60 mins and not get sloppy. The Knight’s are a talented team and if you don’t bring your best they will outshine you.

    Skinner and Campbell are both capable goalies but if the team if front of you is lacking it won’t matter which one is on net.

  11. It would help if Nurse wasn't on the ice for the first 3 goals against. 2 of them he was nowhere near the net, and missed his man, one of those he was at the Oilers blue line for some reason

  12. They should play their bad-ass D-core and just rough up the Kraken. Body em at the blue line….oh nevermind…
