- Jarry showed a stronger performance in advanced metrics prior to the trade, ranking eighth in high-danger save percentage (.848) and sixth in save percentage off the rush (.919), compared to Skinner's .760 and .866 respectively.
- Despite Skinner's greater playoff experience and past success with the Oilers, Edmonton's team save percentage was among the worst (.873) before the trade, highlighting the need for improved goaltending.
- Both teams provide strong offensive support, with the Oilers ranking fifth in goals
