The Edmonton Oilers goalie had perhaps his best start of the season by making 27 saves in a 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. If it wasn’t perfect timing, it was as good as any given that this was his final appearance before NHL 4 Nations Face-Off rosters are due Monday.

In a game that may have turned the tide of his season, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, stopping 27 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
