Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Winning streak snapped Monday
Calvin Pickard stopped 13 of 16 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to New Jersey.Pickard was coming off three straight wins when called upon duty, but that streak was halted Monday in what was a subpar display from the 32-year-old. Pickard has been hit-or-miss this season, posting three games with a save percentage above .920 and three others with a mark below the .860 range. He should remain as Stuart Skinner's backup going forward, meaning his fantasy upside should be minimal and could only be worth considering as a streaming option.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Steady in third straight win
Calvin Pickard allowed a goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.Pickard picked up his third straight win as the Edmonton Oilers' offense performed well even with Connor McDavid (ankle) out.

Stuart Skinner remains in the starting role, but Pickard could be in line for something closer to a 50-50 split of playing time if he continues to make the most of his starting opportunities. The Oilers wrap up their road trip Sunday with a visit to Calgary for the second Battle of Alberta of 2024-25.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Guarding cage against Predators
Calvin 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 Edmonton 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.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Shaky in first start
Calvin 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 Edmonton 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.
