Campbell saved Edmonton’s bacon in relief in Game 4. But Skinner has been the steadier, more confident goaltender for the...
The hard part for Woodcroft is that Campbell’s performance on Sunday may have saved the Oilers’ season. Usually a coach would want to reward the player. But unfortunately with Campbell, it’s complicated.
Campbell did finish the 2022-23 campaign on a high note, allowing just one goal in his final two starts. But previous to those games, he went seven straight allowing at least four. But when it comes down to it, Skinner has been beaten by clean shots too often. At times, he’s looked sluggish coming off his posts. And Skinner’s puckhandling is still a work in progress. Truth be told, I haven’t loved Skinner’s game thus far in round one against the Kings.
For me, Skinner has fewer nervous moments. And he’s got the technical edge on Campbell. Skinner’s steady, measured approach to goaltending is a key part of his consistency. As long as the Oilers play well defensively in front of the Edmonton native, they should win more often than not.
