Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner has been a hot topic for conversation during his young career. That is especially true when it comes to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Oilers had a big test on Friday night with the Avalanche in town, and I am thrilled to report that they handled their business like champs, dumping Colorado by a 6-2 final score.
