In tonight's Oilers playoff game 2 of round 1, the team is eager to secure a win in their last game of home ice advantage in Edmonton until game 5, if they can get to that point. The team announced that Skinner will be starting in goal against LA, hoping to bounce back after losing game 1. Despite the loss, Skinner's solid performance in net, saving 31 out of 35 shots on goal, is a positive sign for the Oilers. He even took full accountability for the loss, showing his determination to lead the team to victory.
However, Janmark's absence from the ice for "maintenance reasons" raises concerns, as he is questionable for tonight's game. This could potentially impact the team's performance, making it crucial for the rest of the team to step up. Oilers fans are hoping for a strong performance from the team as they look to make the most of their home ice advantage.
