Edmonton 6, Dallas 1 (Oilers lead 2-1) Somebody call the press. Stuart Skinner has posted his first non-shutout win of the postseason. It only took eight games… In all seriousness, Skinner is on a level that seemed out of his scope when the playoffs started. He’s allowed just six goals in his past five starts. [...]
