Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Stops 29 shots Thursday
Pickard stopped 29 of 30 shots in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
The Oilers delivered one of their best offensive performances in recent memory, but even if that hadn't been the case, Pickard made sure he'd provide enough support to the offense by stopping all but one of the shots on goal he faced. Pickard is firmly entrenched in a backup role, but he's making his presence felt when his number gets called. He's won his last three starts, posting a 2.32 GAA and a .916 save percentage in that span.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Tending twine Thursday
Pickard will defend the road cage against the Wild on Thursday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Pickard is actually riding a two-game winning streak during which he posted a .887 save percentage, but he has played in only two of the Oilers' last nine contests. While he won't be taking over Stuart Skinner's starting job any time soon, Pickard could play his way into a larger share of the workload if he can string some wins together.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Defeats Columbus
Pickard stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Oilers' offense was in control, and while Pickard wasn't very sharp, he had plenty of help in the win. The 32-year-old has won three of his last four outings, allowing a total of 10 goals in that span. For the season, Pickard improved to 6-3-0 with a 2.56 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 10 contests. Stuart Skinner is likely to be back between the pipes Saturday against the Blues.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Gets starting nod against Jackets
Pickard will be between the pipes at home versus Columbus on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard has appeared in just one of the Oilers' last six contests but performed well, stopping 28 of 31 shots in a victory over Utah. If he can continue to play to this level, Pickard could steal some more starts away from Stuart Skinner but is unlikely to take over as the No. 1 option for Edmonton.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Gets overtime win
Pickard stopped 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
Pickard fell behind early as Utah established a 2-0 lead in the first period. The Oilers answered with three goals in the second, but Lawson Crouse tied it again in the third. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins then scored an unassisted game-winner to secure the victory for Pickard, his second in four starts in November. The 32-year-old netminder is now 5-3-0 with a 2.50 GAA and an .895 save percentage over nine outings this season. Stuart Skinner is likely to start Saturday in Colorado as the Oilers continue their three-game road trip.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Slated to guard road net
Pickard is expected to start on the road against Utah on Friday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels
Pickard has a 4-3-0 record, 2.44 GAA and .893 save percentage in eight appearances in 2024-25. He stopped a solid 22 of 24 shots in his last start Nov. 18, but it ended up being a 3-0 loss to Montreal. Utah ranks 22nd offensively with 2.73 goals per game.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Takes loss in Montreal
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 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: Grabs overtime win
Pickard turned aside 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Pickard stepped in for a spot start and performed well, though the Predators' fourth line was able to generate both goals. The 32-year-old netminder has won four of his last five outings while offering stability in the backup role behind Stuart Skinner. Pickard is 4-2-0 with a 2.49 GAA and an .890 save percentage over seven appearances this season. It'll likely be Skinner between the pipes in Toronto on Saturday, but Pickard should start either Monday in Montreal or Tuesday in Ottawa.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Set to start Thursday
Pickard will start Thursday's home matchup against the Predators, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Pickard worked in the starter's net during Wednesday's practice session, and he'll officially draw his first start in over a week. Although he's had limited opportunities this season behind Stuart Skinner, Pickard has been effective in recent outings, posting a 3-1-0 record, 2.02 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last four starts.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Winning streak snapped Monday
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: Starting against New Jersey
Pickard will start Monday's home game against the Devils.
Pickard has earned wins in his last three starts, posting a 1.67 GAA and .938 save percentage during that time. He'll draw the start for the third time in the Oilers' last five games as he attempts to keep his hot streak going Monday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Steady in third straight win
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 Oilers' offense performed well even with Connor McDavid (ankle) out. The 32-year-old Pickard has allowed more than two goals in just one of his five appearances this season, which was also his lone loss Oct. 12 versus the Blackhawks. 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.

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.

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.

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.
