Stuart Skinner signs two-year contract with Winnipeg Jets

Goaltender Stuart Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets during the offseason. The signing follows a period where the Edmonton Oilers traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins in December. Skinner struggled with consistency in Pittsburgh and was replaced in the postseason by Arturs Silovs. In Winnipeg, his role remains tied to the status of Connor Hellebuyck, who has requested a trade from the organization. Should Hellebuyck depart, Skinner could become the starting goaltender for the Jets. Over his NHL career, Skinner holds a 121-71-23 record with a 2.77 goals-against average and nine shutouts.
