He has not been good recently but in this particular game the Flames were getting wide open looks all night. Skinner had made some key stops on breakaways and open shots in tight but those kind of chances kept coming.

Team defense was the culprit last night.

That said, yes goaltending is still a potential weak point for this team and it would be silly to change plans based on a 16 game heater instead of 2 years of looking at Campbell/Pickard/Skinner.

Much like the start of the year though, with goaltending it comes down to occasionally making a hard save. Skinner is looking like he was in October, where he's not coming up with any big saves. It's a significant problem.
