Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Picks up win against Detroit
Pickard turned aside 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Pickard has picked up wins in back-to-back starts, stopping a combined 49 of 53 shots. The 32-year-old goaltender has been serviceable as Stuart Skinner's backup, posting a 2-1-0 record, .875 save percentage and 2.91 GAA across four appearances. Pickard's next chance to extend his win streak to three will likely come against Calgary on Nov. 3 or New Jersey on Nov. 4.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting in Detroit
Pickard will defend the road net Sunday against Detroit, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard has a 1-1-0 record this season while surrendering eight goals on 54 shots in three appearances. He played in 12 regular-season games for the Red Wings from 2019-20 to 2021-22 before joining Edmonton's organization for the 2022-23 campaign. Detroit has registered 23 goals across eight games this year.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Nabs win over Nashville
Pickard allowed two goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Pickard allowed a tip-in goal by Filip Forsberg and a power-play tally from Jonathan Marchessault. This was Pickard's first win in three outings (two starts) this season, and he's now allowed eight goals on 54 shots. The Oilers started slow but appear to be rounding back into form, though Stuart Skinner's early play hasn't inspired much confidence. Pickard is likely to remain in the backup role for now. Edmonton wraps up its brief two-game trip Saturday in Dallas.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Guarding cage against Predators
Pickard will tend the twine on the road versus Nashville on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Pickard wasn't exactly stellar in his previous outing, giving up five goals on 20 shots (.750 save percentage) against the Blackhawks on Oct. 12. Still, with the Oilers struggling, particularly Stuart Skinner, who is sporting a 4.43 GAA and .845 save percentage in three appearances, it seems the coaching staff if willing to try anything to get the season back on track. If Pickard can put together a strong performance, he could be in line to keep the starting gig heading into Saturday's road clash with Dallas as well.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Shaky in first start
Pickard allowed five goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Neither Pickard nor Stuart Skinner have looked good in their first starts of the year. The Blackhawks' power play did a number on Pickard with three goals and added two even-strength tallies to outpace the Oilers. With six goals allowed on 27 shots over two appearances, Pickard is off to a rough start in 2024-25. Stuart Skinner will start at home versus the Flames on Sunday, but Edmonton's crease could turn into a hot-hand situation if neither goalie gets on a run in the early going.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Facing Chicago
Pickard will patrol the home crease Saturday versus the Blackhawks, according to Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels.
Pickard will get the first half of Edmonton's back-to-back, and Stuart Skinner will play in Sunday's home contest versus Calgary. Last season, the 32-year-old Pickard posted a 27-save shutout win against Chicago on Jan. 25. The Blackhawks have scored three goals in two outings in 2024-25 en route to a record of 0-1-1.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Makes relief appearance
Pickard allowed a goal on seven shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Jets.
Pickard relieved Stuart Skinner just over halfway through the game, but the damage was already done. The lone goal against Pickard was a Mark Scheifele power-play tally in the third period. Last season, Pickard saw action in 23 games, posting a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in the regular season. The 32-year-old will back up Skinner to begin 2024-25, though both goalies should be due for a start this weekend with the Oilers set to host the Blackhawks on Saturday and the Flames on Sunday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Back at practice Wednesday
Pickard (upper body) expects to be ready for the season, telling reporters Wednesday, "Feeling good, feeling ready to go, it's nice to be back skating again."
Pickard figures to enter the upcoming campaign as the No. 2 option behind Stuart Skinner and should see a similar workload as last year when he played in 23 contests. In those outings, the 32-year-old goaltender went 12-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA, .909 save percentage and one shutout. If he can maintain those levels this year, Pickard could challenge Skinner for a few extra starts but is unlikely to work his way into the starting job.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Injured in collision
Pickard (upper body) left Saturday's preseason game versus the Kraken in the first period, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Pickard's head appeared to hit the post after Seattle's Yanni Gourde pushed Edmonton defenseman Philip Kemp into his own goalie. The severity of Pickard's injury wasn't immediately known. The 32-year-old is projected to open 2024-25 as the backup, but if he remains hurt by Opening Night, Collin Delia or Olivier Rodrigue could fill that role instead.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting against Seattle
Pickard will guard the home net Saturday against the Kraken, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard will start for the Oilers, though he could ultimately split work with Olivier Rodrigue, per Brar. Pickard, expected to open the year as Stuart Skinner's backup, went 12-7-1 with a .909 save percentage and a 2.45 GAA in 23 regular-season appearances last campaign.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting versus Calgary
Pickard will be between the pipes for Monday's home preseason contest against the Flames.
Pickard will start the 2024-25 campaign as Stuart Skinner's top backup. The 32-year-old Pickard was 12-7-1 with a .909 save percentage and a 2.45 GAA in 23 regular-season appearances with the Oilers in 2023-24.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Signs two-year contract
Pickard signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Oilers on Friday, per Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff.
Pickard had a 12-7-1 record, 2.45 GAA and .909 save percentage in 23 regular-season contests with Edmonton in 2023-24. He's projected to open the 2024-25 campaign as the backup goaltender behind Stuart Skinner. The Oilers also have Jack Campbell under contract for three more seasons with a $5 million annual cap hit, but he spent most of the recent campaign in the minors and seems unlikely to earn a roster spot with Edmonton to start the season if he remains with the franchise.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Loses Game 5 late
Pickard allowed three goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.
Pickard allowed a goal in each period, including J.T. Miller's game-winner in the final minute of the third. While it wasn't a bad start, Pickard is now 1-1 with five goals allowed on 56 shots over his two playoff starts. The 32-year-old netminder has offered a bit more stability for the Oilers, but it's unclear if he'll again get the nod in Saturday's must-win Game 6. If not, head coach Kris Knoblauch could turn back to Stuart Skinner with the season on the line.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: In goal for Game 5
Pickard will get the starting nod in Game 5 on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
Pickard stopped 19 of 21 shots faced in Game 4, posting a .905 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA. While the 32-year-old backstop is making his second straight start, any stumbles by Pickard could see Stuart Skinner reclaim his spot as the No. 1 netminder for Edmonton.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Wins first playoff start
Pickard stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.
Pickard received his first playoff start after making his postseason debut in relief of Stuart Skinner in Sunday's Game 3. Skinner's struggles have opened the door for Pickard to get a chance, and he nearly squandered it after giving up a goal late in the third period to Dakota Joshua. Evan Bouchard answered quickly to give the Oilers the win, which tied the series at two games apiece. Pickard went 12-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 23 regular-season outings. Tuesday's effort was far from dominant, but it might just be enough for the 32-year-old to get a longer look between the pipes with the series shifting back to Vancouver for Thursday's Game 5.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: First off ahead of Game 4
Pickard was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 4 versus Vancouver.
Pickard will get his first NHL playoff start due to the struggles of Stuart Skinner. The 25-year-old Skinner has surrendered 12 goals on 58 shots en route to a 1-2 record during Edmonton's second-round series against the Canucks. Pickard posted a 12-7-1 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 23 outings during the 2023-24 regular season.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Makes relief appearance
Pickard stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Stuart Skinner in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.
This was Pickard's first playoff action this spring, and he did fairly well, though the Canucks were mostly nursing their lead while he was in the game. Head coach Kris Knoblauch didn't name a starter for Game 4 on Tuesday in his postgame comments, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, which leaves open the possibility Pickard could get a start now that the Oilers trail 2-1 in the series. The 32-year-old went 12-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 23 regular-season appearances as Skinner's backup this year.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Enters in relief
Pickard stopped 13 of 14 shots in relief of Stuart Skinner on Thursday in a 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Pickard started the second period in net after Skinner surrendered four goals in the opening frame. Colorado would ease off the throttle, scoring just once on Pickard, though Edmonton couldn't overcome the early deficit, leaving Skinner with the loss. The 32-year-old Pickard was solid in a backup role during the regular season, going 12-7-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.45 GAA.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Gives up four goals in loss
Pickard allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Pickard has lost four of his last six outings, giving up 19 goals in that span. The 32-year-old dropped to 12-7-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Oilers are locked in to the No. 2 spot in the Pacific Division, so they have no motivation to play starter Stuart Skinner versus the Avalanche on Thursday in the regular-season finale, but the team has not announced its goaltending plan for that contest yet.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Slated to face Coyotes
Pickard is expected to start on the road against Arizona on Wednesday, per Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network.
Pickard will get a chance to rebound after stopping 25 of 28 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to the Coyotes in his last start Friday. He has a 12-6-1 record, 2.41 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 contests this season. Edmonton is resting defensemen Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci against Arizona, which might make Pickard's task somewhat tougher.
