Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Beaten five times Monday
Pickard stopped 31 of 36 shots in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Kings.
The Oilers were extremely shorthanded Monday, so the 5-0 defeat wasn't shocking. However, the loss also snapped Pickard's excellent run of form. The 33-year-old veteran had won five of his previous six starts before Monday's meltdown. Pickard has posted a 2.58 GAA and a .907 save percentage over his last seven outings. The Oilers have one final game in the regular season when they face the Sharks on Wednesday, though it's unclear if Pickard will get the nod in that matchup.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Tending twine against Los Angeles
Pickard will start Monday's home game against the Kings, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Pickard has picked up wins in five of his last six starts, going 5-1-0 with a 2.18 GAA and .917 save percentage during that time. His lone loss during that stretch came against the Kings, as he turned aside 26 of 28 shots (.929 save percentage) in a 3-0 defeat, but he'll attempt to pick up a win in Monday's rematch.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Defeats Sharks
Pickard stopped 22 of 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Pickard won for the fifth time in six starts, a span that includes two victories over the Sharks. He's allowed just 13 goals in that span, leading to a bit of a goaltending controversy in Edmonton now that Stuart Skinner (head) is available again. Pickard is 22-9-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 35 appearances this season. Both goalies should get a start with a tough back-to-back ahead -- the Oilers visit the Jets on Sunday and host the Kings on Monday, with the latter game being a preview of a likely first-round matchup. Consider the last week of the season an audition for the starting role for both netminders, though Pickard has momentum on his side.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Gets starting nod Friday
Pickard will guard the home cage versus San Jose on Friday, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN.
Pickard is 4-1-0 in his last five starts, allowing only 11 goals on 133 shots (.917 save percentage). Overall, the 32-year-old is 21-9-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. The Sharks are 30th in NHL scoring, generating 2.60 goals per game, but they did strike for seven goals Wednesday in an 8-7 overtime loss against the Wild.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Holds on for win
Pickard stopped 23 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
The Blues came back from a pair of one-goal deficits in the third period, but Connor Brown's second goal of the game was scored with 21 seconds left in the frame. Pickard didn't have a great outing, but that was too late for the Blues to get even again. This was Pickard's fourth win in his last five outings, and he's up to 21-9-1 on the season. He's added a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 34 appearances. Stuart Skinner (head) is nearing a return, but Pickard has won six of his last 10 contests and may share the goaltending duties at least for the rest of the regular season.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: In goal versus Blues
Pickard will get the starting nod at home versus St. Louis on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard had made five straight starts before finally getting a night off against the Ducks on Monday. With Stuart Skinner's (head) continued absence, the Oilers likely have little choice but to keep rolling with Pickard between the pipes -- especially considering backup Olivier Rodrigue has just two NHL games under his belt. Edmonton doesn't have any more back-to-backs remaining on its schedule, so Pickard should be able to feature the rest of the way.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Gets no help in LA
Pickard stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Kings, with Los Angeles' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
After a scoreless first period, the Kings' offense got rolling in the second, but the Oilers' skaters weren't able to solve Darcy Kuemper in the other crease. Pickard has allowed exactly two goals in four straight starts as Edmonton's No. 1 netminder in the absence of Stuart Skinner (head), going 3-1-0 over that stretch with a .925 save percentage.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Guarding cage against Kings
Pickard will tend the twine on the road versus Los Angeles on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard will be making his sixth straight appearance between the crease, having won three straight in which he is sporting a 1.99 GAA. As long as Stuart Skinner is sidelined, the Oilers have little choice but to roll with Pickard in the crease. Fortunately for the club, it doesn't have any back-to-backs on the short-term schedule.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Secures first 20-win season
Pickard stopped 27 of 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
The Oilers never had much breathing room in the contest, but Pickard's perfect third period helped them get the win. The 32-year-old reached the 20-win mark for the first time in his career, in part helped by Stuart Skinner's (head) recent absence. Pickard has allowed just six goals during his three-game winning streak and is now 20-8-1 with a 2.66 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 32 outings this season. He'll likely start again Saturday in a tough road matchup versus the Kings. It's a game that could have big implications on which of the two teams has home-ice advantage -- they're on a collision course to meet for the fourth straight postseason.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Set to start in San Jose
Pickard will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against San Jose, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Pickard has been inconsistent for most of March, but he's in the midst of a two-game winning streak in which he's posted a 1.97 GAA and .920 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Sharks, who are generating just 2.58 goals per game this year, which is the third-lowest mark in the NHL.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Holds on for win
Pickard stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Pickard has won four of his last seven outings, going 4-1-1 in that span. He's allowed more than two goals just once in that stretch. The Golden Knights didn't have a lot of shot volume but put on a fair amount of pressure while chasing the game in the third period, but Pickard held firm. He's up to 19-8-1 with a 2.69 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 31 outings. Stuart Skinner (head) remains out, allowing Pickard to operate as the No. 1 netminder. He'll likely have a chance to go for his 20th win of the season when the Oilers visit the Sharks on Thursday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Set to start in Vegas
Pickard will be between the road pipes against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Pickard will make his fourth straight start due to Stuart Skinner's head injury. The 32-year-old Pickard is 18-8-1 with a 2.71 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 30 appearances in 2024-25. It will be a tough matchup Tuesday for the veteran netminder -- Vegas has won six straight games while potting 28 goals during that stretch. Pickard has never faced the Golden Knights in his career.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Bounces back with win
Pickard stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
Pickard had gone 0-1-1 with six goals allowed on 37 shots over his last three outings (one start). The Oilers spent large portions of Saturday's game trailing, but Leon Draisaitl scored late in the third period and again in overtime to save the day. Pickard is up to 18-8-1 with a 2.71 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. Stuart Skinner (head) is not expected to be available early in the Oilers' upcoming road trip, so don't be surprised to see Pickard between the pipes against Vegas on Tuesday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Guarding goal Saturday
Pickard will defend the home goal versus Calgary on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard is currently the No. 1 goaltender in Edmonton as Stuart Skinner is out of action with a head injury. Pickard struggled Thursday, allowing five goals on 29 shots in a 6-1 loss to Seattle. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder is 17-8-1 with a 2.75 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 29 appearances this season. Calgary has posted 2.61 goals per game in 2024-25, 31st in the NHL.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Unravels in second period
Pickard gave up five goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
Pickard kept the game scoreless through one period, but the Kraken hung five on the board against him in the second. He gave way for the final frame, with Olivier Rodrigue checking in for his NHL debut in the blowout loss. Pickard will need to be a lot better going forward, as it's unclear how much time Stuart Skinner (head) might miss following his exit from Wednesday's contest versus the Stars. Pickard is now 17-8-1 with a 2.75 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 29 appearances this season. The Oilers host the Flames on Saturday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Expected to face Seattle
Pickard is slated to start on the road against Seattle on Thursday.
Pickard has a 2-0-1 record, 1.28 GAA and .952 save percentage across his past four appearances. He's 17-7-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 28 outings overall. Seattle is in a three-way tie for 14th in goals per game with 2.99.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Fills in for injured Stuart Skinner
Pickard stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Stuart Skinner (head) in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Skinner left in the third period after a collision with Mikko Rantanen. Pickard did his part to give the Oilers a chance at an improbable comeback, which fell one goal short of forcing overtime. Skinner won't travel to Seattle for Thursday's game, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports, so expect Pickard to get the starting nod for that game, while Collin Delia or Olivier Rodrigue are due to be called up to fill the backup role. Pickard would likely handle the bulk of the goaltending duties as long as Skinner is out. Through 28 appearances this season, Pickard is 17-7-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Takes overtime loss in relief
Pickard stopped three of four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Pickard relieved Stuart Skinner (concussion) when the latter was removed from the game following a collision in the third period. The 32-year-old Pickard then gave up the decisive goal to Kyle Connor in overtime. Pickard is down to 17-7-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 27 appearances this season. If Skinner misses time, Pickard will take over as the Oilers' top goalie during Skinner's absence. The Oilers host the Kraken on Saturday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Sharp in big win
Pickard stopped 29 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.
The Oilers took a 3-0 lead in the first period, and that was more than enough for Pickard to work with. Sean Durzi's tally in the second period denied Pickard a shutout, but he still collected his third win in four outings in March. In all of those victories, he's allowed just one goal. The 32-year-old is up to 17-7-0 with a 2.60 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Pickard already has a career high in wins and could challenge the 20-win mark if he gets enough action over the final month of the campaign. The Oilers will likely turn back to Stuart Skinner for Thursday's home game versus the Jets.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Between pipes versus Utah
Pickard will guard the home cage against Utah on Tuesday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard stopped 24 of 25 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Islanders. The 32-year-old is 2-1-0 with a .917 save percentage and a 2.52 GAA across three appearances in March. Utah ranks 21st in the league with 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25 and has won two of its last three contests.
