Koskinen entered the match after Smith, who allowed six goals on 25 shots, was given the hook early in the second period. He gave up a shortly after he took the cage, but he was superb afterward and the Oilers made it a one-goal game in the third following a 7-3 deficit.

Koskinen is a UFA at the end of the season and the soon to be 34-year-old is not in line to be a starter in the NHL next season. He has seen action in only one playoff game as he replaced Mike Smith in Game 1 of Round 2 Wednesday, giving up five goals in 53 minutes of action. For the season, Koskinen was 27-12-4 with a 3.11 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

Koskinen picked up his second straight start in two nights as the Oilers rested Mike Smith for the playoffs. The win gives Koskinen a 27-12-4 record this season with a 3.11 GAA and a .904 save percentage.
