However, with the right combination of skill, determination, and a bit of luck, there is definitely a possibility for the Oilers to overcome the playoff hump and make a deeper run in 2024.
What will the goalie situation look like in Edmonton?
Stuart Skinner’s performance in the upcoming 2023-2024 season will be a significant factor in the Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending situation. As a young goaltender with potential, Skinner will have the opportunity to establish himself at the NHL level and contribute to the team’s success.
