Stuart Skinner made 25 saves for the Edmonton Oilers in a 4-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Second Round at Rogers Place on Wednesday.
Skinner's performance came two days after he was pulled in the second period of a 5-1 loss in Game 3.
"He bounced back. That's what he does," Oilers captain Connor McDavid said. "I am sure he wanted to play a better game in Game 3, like we all did, and I thought he played really, really well tonight."
The best-of-7 series is tied 2-2. Game 5 will be in Las Vegas on Friday.
"It felt good. It was a huge win by the group and that is the most important thing," Skinner said. "Just the way the guys battled tonight was impressive. You always have to show up the next day and keep on working.
"I am going to keep on growing and learn from my mistakes from tonight as well and just move forward and get better tomorrow."
