Pickard made 20 saves Saturday in 3-2 overtime win over San Jose.
Pickard is riding a personal four-game win streak, and he's 8-3-0 with a 2.37 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 11 starts. He and Stuart Skinner have combined for a 10-2-0 record over the Oilers' last 12 games. Skinner will likely start against Ottawa on Sunday, and then the two men will probably split a back-to-back Dec. 28 (Kings) and Dec. 29 (Ducks). Pickard will get the first game if the coach's pattern over the last three back-to-backs holds true.
