Fantasy Impact: Skinner receives an opportunity for a fresh start after struggling with consistency issues between the pipes for an Edmonton squad once again loaded up in hopes of another run at a Stanley Cup. The 27-year-old is now part of a netminding tandem along with Arturs Silovs in which first-year head coach Dan Muse will ride the hot hand, posting an .891 save percentage and 2.83 GAA in 23 appearances (11-8-4, two shutouts) in the Edmonton net prior to being traded.

Fantasy Impact: Jarry will now get the opportunity to play behind an Edmonton squad led by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl that fell victim to inconsistent goaltending throughout the season to this point. The 30-year-old netminder carries a 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage in 14 appearances (13-9-3, one shutout) while splitting time with Arturs Silovs in the Pittsburgh net prior to the trade.
