Jets' Stuart Skinner: Earns win despite late collapse
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 18 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.
Skinner appeared headed for a comfortable victory with Winnipeg leading 3-0 midway through the third period, but Tampa Bay scored three unanswered goals to erase the advantage. Mark Scheifele's last-second winner rescued the result, giving the Jets their third consecutive victory. Despite the win, Skinner's .857 save percentage highlights the continued volatility surrounding his fantasy value. He's also posted a single-game save percentage below .900 in four of his last five starts, going 3-2-0 with a 4.54 GAA in that span.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Escapes with win Tuesday
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Skinner endured a difficult opening 41 minutes, surrendering four goals, including two power-play tallies to Cole Caufield. However, Winnipeg's extraordinary late comeback rescued his outing and snapped the team's nine-game losing streak. The win provides some relief, but his .818 save percentage highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding his efficiency. He remains a risky fantasy option until his performances become more consistent, as he anchors a defense that has endured a fair share of problems lately. Skinner has gone 4-4-3 with a 3.41 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 11 outings this season.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Narrow loss in Heritage Classic
Rotowire
Skinner allowed two goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens in the Heritage Classic.
Skinner put in a decent effort, but he didn't get enough help from his teammates. This was a fourth straight defeat for Skinner, who is 0-2-2 with 10 goals allowed on 115 shots in that span. He's now 3-2-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .911 save percentage through eight starts overall. These ratios are on the better end of his performances over the years -- it's unlikely to be sustainable in the long run. That said, Skinner has enough experience to maintain the starting role over both Nico Daws and Clay Stevenson unless he suffers a run of truly terrible performances. The Jets take things back indoors when they host the Panthers on Tuesday.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Makes 35 saves in overtime defeat
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Skinner delivered an impressive performance despite the defeat, posting a .921 save percentage while facing nearly twice as many shots as Dallas' Jake Oettinger. The veteran netminder made a remarkable glove save on Roope Hintz late in the second period to preserve Winnipeg's lead, but couldn't prevent Dallas' late comeback. His substantial workload creates opportunities for strong save totals, though the Jets' recent struggles could continue to limit his fantasy value in leagues that emphasize wins. It's worth noting that Skinner has been productive despite the team's struggles, posting a single-game save percentage of at least .900 in five of his last six starts.

Rotowire
Skinner will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues, per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Defeats Avalanche
Rotowire
Skinner stopped 32 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.
Skinner faced one of the league's toughest opponents and came away with a win, allowing just a pair of goals to Colorado's third line. That's the second straight win for Skinner, who has faced heavy traffic through three games. He's stopped 91 of 99 shots while going 2-0-1, but the 27-year-old hasn't often displayed extended runs of success, so there may be some luck involved so far. He's taken a firm grasp of the starting job for the Jets, and he's worth rostering in fantasy as long as the results keep going in his favor. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Ducks on Friday.
