Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Takes loss in Montreal
Calvin Pickard stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens.Pickard probably wants another chance to stop Montreal's second goal, but he did his job and got little support from the offense; it was the fifth time in seven starts he's allowed two goals or fewer. The Edmonton Oilers had more shots over the first two periods of the game, but the Canadiens scored late in the second and twice in the third while controlling tempo over the final period. Pickard dropped to 4-3 with a 2.44 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Edmonton is back at it Tuesday night in Ottawa, when presumably Stuart Skinner will start.

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.
