Though big-name prospects like Kailer Yamamoto, Ethan Bear, Caleb Jones and Ziyat Paigan sat out of this contest, there was still a lot of star power from the rookie Oilers. However, a lot of the story revolved around Stuart Skinner, who completely stole the show.
He stopped all 26 shots he faced against Winnipeg and made his job look easy. The 18-year-old didn’t have trouble with many of the shots, turning them away easily. His true potential though, showed through a diving save he made on Jets prospect Skyler McKenzie. After McKenzie was right at the doorstep, Skinner slid across, diving to stop the puck with his glove.
