A blow to the side of his head puts Stuart Skinner out of the game the for the second time this week. The Oilers are already down McDavid and Draisaitl.
Impacts like that from the side are far worse than puck impacts. So much more mass over a wider area, and typically on the part of the lid that's less reinforced.

I watched over and over and couldn't see that Rantanen did actually hit Skinner. It wasn't until the view from above that I could see the contact.
