Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner is having one of the worst playoff runs of any goalie in contemporary NHL history. The Edmonton Oilers fell 5-4 to the Vegas Golden Knights in game 3 of their second round series on a devastating goal with just four tenths of a second remaining in regulation. With the Oilers forwards playing well, Edmonton desperately needs Skinner to give the team a chance. Host Nick Zararis explores why the Oilers were due for a bad bounce, provides context on Skinner's struggle and explains why in spite of the struggles, he's still not worried.
