It is the moment that every NHL fan was waiting for. The Stanley Cup Final enters its business end, with the Panthers just one win away from defending their title. On the other hand, the Oilers trail 2-3 and need to win the remaining two games to avoid an unwanted repeat of last year. With all to play for in Game 6 later today, the Oilers have announced a major update ahead of the must-win encounter.
With Game 6 just hours away and the morning skate done and dusted, the Oilers have confirmed their starting goaltender for tonight’s game. Stuart Skinner will be making a comeback in the Oilers’ crease after sitting out Game 5. He has played in all but one Stanley Cup Final game and remains the Oilers’ first choice. In the previous game, Calvin Pickard was between the pipes as they conceded five goals in a 5-2 loss. However, with Skinner back, the Oilers would be hoping for a quick turnaround if they were to keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive.
