LOS ANGELES (AP) — Connor McDavid usually dominates the headlines for the Edmonton Oilers.
On Sunday night, it was the play of goaltender Stuart Skinner that put them a win away from advancing in the NHL playoffs.
Skinner stopped 33 shots for his first postseason shutout in the Oilers’ 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4.
Skinner is the eighth goalie in franchise history to record a postseason shutout and the first since Mike Smith had two in the first round against the Kings two years ago. The most recent was in Game 7 of the 2022 first-round series when Smith made 29 saves in a 2-0 victory.
“The Kings definitely gave me a hard time out there. I was sweating a lot by the end of the third,” Skinner said. “The guys were grinding for me. When we were getting hemmed in the defensive zone, we were able to win battles along the board and get pucks out.”
