Courtesy of Clear Sight Analytics Koskinen is 19th in goals saved at +3.47 on the season, but the past five starts that has dropped. Where he suffers most is on low% goals. He has allowed seven this season, which is tied for 2nd most in the NHL. Allowing seven weak goals in 10 starts is simply too many.

To me, Skinner is already on par with Koskinen and he will have a higher ceiling. He’s the future, just looking at Koski’s 9-2 record and saying he’s like the Grant Fuhr of this generation is just setting the Oilers up for failure.
Koskinen gets such a huge leash compared to Smith and I’m never sure why. Imagine if it was Smith with the 9-2 record but has performed like Koski in the past 5 games? The sky would be falling.

Haha - I don't think Koskinen has a long rope. People are ready to string him up for any early goal. Neither of the Oilers goalies have much of a leash with fans, because they've failed so often in their time here. Tippett has a much longer leash for Smith - believing he can battle through situations where he's going to default to pulling Koskinen.
I do think either goalie would have this leash with him with Skinner as the backup. Tippett doesn't like rookie forwards, so rookie goalies? Not going to be something he's really comfortable with. Skinner's first game last year with Ottawa he was terrible on, and if he was a rookie defenceman and made that giveaway he did in his first appearance this year, he'd have never played again. His hand is forced because Koskinen can't play 20 games in a row.

Feeling for Kostko right now. Wonder if Smith having his setback finally triggered him to go into his low confidence mode. Things were better when it seemed Smith was on the cusp of returning, but then suddenly he realizes no help is coming. Fatigue probably playing a part as well. Kostko needs his Schmiddy back!
