The biggest game of the entire season for the Oilers is being played tonight, and Kris Knoblauch has announced the team's starting goalie for this must-win Game 6.

The Edmonton Oilers will turn to Stuart Skinner in between the posts for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, their season hanging in the balance against the Florida Panthers. He was seen in the starter's end this morning and he later confirmed it.
Skinner led the morning skate for the club and will now be in the crease after being pulled in Games 3 and 4. He sports a 2.99 GAA, .891 save percentage, and three shutouts in 14 playoff games.
Calvin Pickard began Game 5 and allowed four goals on 18 shots. He's 7-1 in the playoffs with a 2.85 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Kapanen and Klingberg appear to be back in the lineup tonight

Lineup shuffling is likely, since Kasperi Kapanen and defenseman John Klingberg are both due back. Kapanen didn't play in Game 5 but has six points in 11 playoff games.
Klingberg, minus-3 versus Dallas, sat out the last two games against Florida for Troy Stecher. He has four points in 18 playoff games this season.
Evander Kane was moved to the second line with Leon Draisaitl and Kapanen, and Max Jones took Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' place for the time being, who will be on the top line with Connor McDavid and Corey Perry.
Tuesday night is the date of Game 6 in Florida, with puck drop set for 8 PM ET. If Edmonton does force a Game 7, it will be Friday night back home in Alberta at 6 PM MT.
