Former Penguins Goalie Has Big Game For Jets

The Jets signing Skinner certainly makes sense now, as Connor Hellebuyck made his trade request publicly known before the start of the season. Now, the former Penguins goalie is already making an impact for the Jets.

In Winnipeg's most recent game against the Detroit Red Wings, Skinner stopped 33 out of 35 shots he faced. With this, he finished the contest with a strong .943 save percentage.

If the Jets hope to prove their doubters wrong and make the playoffs this year, they are going to need Skinner to continue to put together games like these for them. The former Penguins goalie is one of the Jets' biggest X-factors this campaign, with Hellebuyck refusing to play and wanting out.
