Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner has gone from getting pulled to being praised again this postseason.

The Edmonton Oilers are the last Canadian team with a shot at winning the Stanley Cup this season, but are they really Canada 's team? Heather Yourex-West looks at the state of the Oilers bandwagon in Calgary and Vancouver.

Edmonton opened the West final with a 3-2 double-overtime win when Skinner had nine of his 31 saves after regulation. He pushed away late shots by Tyler Seguin, who scored both Dallas goals, and Jason Robertson, who also hit both posts during an extended power play in that first overtime.

Oilers forward Adam Henrique has missed the past six games, and seven of the eight, since spraining his ankle in the first-round clincher against Los Angeles on May 1.
