Kris Knoblauch nominates Start Skinner as player of the game
Stu was our best player tonight, I thought he played extremely well. He made one mistake tonight, but that was maybe our worst game that we defended,» Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. «The amount of chances that we gave up tonight and he made save after save. You need your goalie to make those saves, and I think our goaltenders have been really good the last few weeks and are winning us games.
