  EDMONTON, Alberta — The play of goaltender Stuart Skinner was the biggest question for the Edmonton Oilers going into the Stanley Cup Final.
  Through two games, Skinner has done his job and is not the reason his team trails the series 2-0. The onus is on his teammates to get the job done at the other end of the rink against Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers in Game 3 on Thursday night as the series shifts to Alberta.
