Jets' Stuart Skinner: Narrow loss in Heritage Classic
Rotowire
Skinner allowed two goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in the Heritage Classic.
Skinner put in a decent effort, but he didn't get enough help from his teammates. This was a fourth straight defeat for Skinner, who is 0-2-2 with 10 goals allowed on 115 shots in that span. He's now 3-2-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .911 save percentage through eight starts overall. These ratios are on the better end of his performances over the years -- it's unlikely to be sustainable in the long run. That said, Skinner has enough experience to maintain the starting role over both Nico Daws and Clay Stevenson unless he suffers a run of truly terrible performances. The Jets take things back indoors when they host the Panthers on Tuesday.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Makes 35 saves in overtime defeat
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Skinner delivered an impressive performance despite the defeat, posting a .921 save percentage while facing nearly twice as many shots as Dallas' Jake Oettinger. The veteran netminder made a remarkable glove save on Roope Hintz late in the second period to preserve Winnipeg's lead, but couldn't prevent Dallas' late comeback. His substantial workload creates opportunities for strong save totals, though the Jets' recent struggles could continue to limit his fantasy value in leagues that emphasize wins. It's worth noting that Skinner has been productive despite the team's struggles, posting a single-game save percentage of at least .900 in five of his last six starts.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Falls short in narrow loss
Rotowire
Skinner turned aside 26 of 28 shots on net in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blues.
Skinner fought hard Tuesday, but ultimately was handed the loss due to Philip Broberg's power-play goal in the third period. Outside of the Blues' tally with a man advantage, Skinner allowed just one goal at even strength early in the contest. Prior to Tuesday's loss, the 27-year-old netminder had posted a streak of five games where he was unbeaten in regulation. Overall, he now holds a 3-1-2 record, a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage across six appearances. In the early stages of the new season, Skinner has looked the part of a solid No. 1 option between the pipes. For as long as Connor Hellebuyck (suspension) holds out while looking to be traded, Skinner is a solid option in most fantasy formats given his personal success and the Jets' seemingly-improved offense from the 2025-26 season.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Skinner will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues, per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Skinner will look to extend his unbeaten streak in regulation to six games Tuesday after narrowly losing a 4-3 battle to the Blackhawks on Thursday. Overall, the 27-year-old goalie has a 3-0-2 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage across five appearances to open his first season with the Jets. He's been more than serviceable between the pipes, and he remains a solid No. 2 goalie option in fantasy for the time being. He'll have his hands full on Tuesday, however, as the Blues currently rank 9th with 3.38 goals per game this season.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Set to start against Hawks
Rotowire
Skinner is expected to be between the pipes on the road versus Chicago on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Skinner remains undefeated in regulation, posting a 3-0-1 record, 2.47 GAA and .917 save percentage in four outings. With no end in sight to the Connor Hellebuyck (suspension) situation, fantasy managers should be confident that the 27-year-old Skinner will continue to carry the bulk of the workload in Winnipeg and could top the 30-win mark for the first time since 2023-24.

He also turned aside all three shots he faced while shorthanded. Although his relatively light workload limited his save total, Skinner provided a valuable win for fantasy managers. He's been trending in the right direction with three wins in a row while allowing two goals or fewer each time.

Through three games this year, Skinner remains undefeated in regulation, going 2-0-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .920 save percentage.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Defeats Avalanche
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 32 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.
Skinner faced one of the league's toughest opponents and came away with a win, allowing just a pair of goals to Colorado's third line. That's the second straight win for Skinner, who has faced heavy traffic through three games. He's stopped 91 of 99 shots while going 2-0-1, but the 27-year-old hasn't often displayed extended runs of success, so there may be some luck involved so far. He's taken a firm grasp of the starting job for the Jets, and he's worth rostering in fantasy as long as the results keep going in his favor. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Ducks on Friday.

Rotowire
Skinner stopped 28 of 32 shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Skinner allowed five goals on 64 shots over his two preseason starts. The 27-year-old faced the Avalanche both times, and while he struggled Friday, he looks prepared for the upcoming campaign. Expect Skinner to get as many starts as he can handle early in the season, as the Jets will likely want to ease Domenic DiVincentiis into the backup role.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Starting Monday's preseason game
Rotowire
Skinner will start Monday's preseason game at home against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets in July and could begin the regular season as Winnipeg's primary goaltender since Connor Hellebuyck has been suspended by the team amid his looming trade request.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Heading north
Rotowire
Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Skinner had a 23-17-9 record, 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage in 50 regular-season outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh in 2025-26. It was his second straight regular season with a save percentage below .900. For now, Skinner projects to be Winnipeg's No. 2 netminder behind Connor Hellebuyck. However, if Hellebuyck gets traded this summer, Skinner would probably begin 2026-27 as Winnipeg's starting goaltender.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Flops in Philly
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 24 of 28 shots Wednesday during the Penguins' 5-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 3 of their first-round series. Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net.
Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, but Skinner let it slip away in a shaky second period that saw him give up three goals on 15 shots. With the Penguins facing elimination in Game 4 on Saturday and Skinner carrying a 3.08 GAA and .873 save percentage while losing the first three games of the series, coach Dan Muse may have to consider switching to Arturs Silovs between the pipes to try and spark a comeback.
