Stuart Skinner stopped 20 of 22 shots in the Penguins 3-0 loss Monday Night. Boasting an .881 SV% through two games and a coaching staff that has an affinity for Arturs Silovs, is Skinner in danger of being benched for Game 3 by default as the Penguins have few lineup answers elsewhere? Silovs 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA, .888 SV% in 39 games this season, had a disastrous March/April posting an .862 SV% over his last 11 games. Going to Silovs is a more desperate Game 4 plan if down 0-3 but it is believed to be strongly in play for Game 3.
