The Edmonton Oilers added some depth between the pipes, agreeing to terms with Swift Current Broncos netminder Stuart Skinner on a three-year entry-level contract, the Oilers announced Monday.
Skinner finished the Western Hockey League regular season with a 16-6-1 record and a .914 save percentage across 25 appearances. He then stacked up another 16 victories in the playoffs to guide Swift Current to its first trip to the Memorial Cup since 1993, winning the WHL championship on Sunday night.
The 2018 Memorial Cup will take place later this month in Regina, Saskatchewan, and includes the host Pats along with the Broncos, the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, and the Hamilton Bulldogs.
The Oilers selected Skinner with the 78th pick in last year's draft.
