Skinner will start Monday's preseason game at home against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets in July and could begin the regular season as Winnipeg's primary goaltender since Connor Hellebuyck has been suspended by the team amid his looming trade request. Skinner made 50 regular-season appearances between the Oilers and Penguins last year, going 23-17-9 with a 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage.
