Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner has done his job through the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final. He is not the reason they trail the series 2-0. The onus is now on his teammates to get the job done at the other end of the rink against Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers.

Skinner has used meditation and reading books to get away from hockey, and experience has allowed him to handle booing and criticism better than earlier in his career.

It’s more about maybe that second opportunity, having guys around the net and go from there. I know offense hasn’t been a problem since I got here with this group, so I’m not too worried about it.
