Stuart Skinner's got a safe percentage lower than Arcer she loves.

He's also already lost four games in either overtime or via shootout.

He lost more games than he won for a team fresh off two straight trips

to the Stanley Cup final. But he's it, my friends, he's it. Good morning to you. Good. Tuesday morning,

I'm Dan Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Penguins.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates in the same place that you've found this.

My mind will be open.

I am making that promise to you right now for anybody who'd care.

My mind will be open, beginning with Skinner facing Tristan Jari and the Oilers tonight at PPG Paints Arena.

That's a 7.38 p.m. face off.

It's also on national TV in the United States.

It's also got, you know, that not so small subplot of Sidney Crosby facing Connor McDavid.

But make no mistake, now that Skinner and Brett Kulak have cleared immigration, now that they have reported to the team,

they're here in Pittsburgh, they're going to take the ice with the team for the morning skate

up in Cranberry, and you'd better believe Skinner's going to get the nod as the starter.

Everything's going to emanate from him.

Whether that's fair or not, whether that's a completely different

perception than what people might think or not. And by that I mean this. Skinner was put into a really

challenging scenario in Edmonton.

And I'm going to strive to be fair with him, not just from this point onward, but also in looking back at what he's done.
