Goaltenders are often considered the most important position in hockey, but when it comes to betting lines, are sportsbooks properly pricing their impact on the game?
Take the Edmonton Oilers as an example. When Stuart Skinner has been the starter, Edmonton has been favored 32 times. In those games, they have gone just 16-16 on the moneyline and an abysmal 9-23 against the spread. Despite being favored in all these matchups, the Oilers haven't consistently delivered.
