Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Secures win in Minnesota
Pickard stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
Pickard fell behind early as the Wild scored twice on the power play in the first period. Over the final two frames, the 32-year-old goalie was dialed in, giving up just one more goal off a faceoff play, while the Oilers' offense gave him enough support for the win. Pickard has won three of his last four outings, with the lone exception being a brief relief appearance. He's now 11-4-0 with a 2.53 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 17 appearances. Stuart Skinner is likely to start Thursday at Colorado.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Slated to start Wednesday
Pickard is set to start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard has a 10-4-0 record, 2.50 GAA and .896 save percentage in 16 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 19 of 22 shots en route to a 4-3 win over Chicago in his last start Saturday. The Wild are a high-end opponent with a commanding 27-13-4 record, though they're mediocre in terms of goals per game, tying for 17th with 2.95.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Rallies for win No. 10
Pickard turned aside 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.
The veteran netminder looked a little sluggish in the first period, reacting a heartbeat too slowly and allowing short-side goals to Teuvo Teravainen and Nick Foligno, but Pickard got his bearings and shut the door over the second half of the game as the Oilers mounted a comeback from a 3-1 deficit. He has just one regulation loss since the beginning of December over seven appearances, and on the season Pickard is 10-4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting in Chicago
Pickard will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard has won five of his last six starts, surrendering 15 goals on 154 shots. He has a 9-4-0 record with a 2.46 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Chicago sits 29th in the league with 2.55 goals per game in 2024-25.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Part of combined shutout win
Pickard logged 5:25 of ice time in the first period of Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Stuart Skinner had to leave the game late in the first period after a collision, and Pickard didn't face a shot while coming into the game cold. Skinner was good to go after the intermission. Pickard has typically started roughly once a week this season -- every three-to-four games -- but if Skinner has any lingering issues, he could be called upon sooner. The Oilers' road trip has two stops left, as they'll be in Pittsburgh on Thursday and in Chicago on Saturday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Little work in win
Pickard stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Pickard earned his fifth win in his last six starts. He didn't have much to do in this contest, though the Kraken were a little opportunistic to cut the deficit to one goal before Leon Draisaitl's empty-netter sealed the Oilers' win. For the season, Pickard is 9-4-0 with a 2.48 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 14 appearances. He's seeing roughly one-third of the starts, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Pickard start one of the three road games the Oilers have next week -- they visit Boston on Tuesday, Pittsburgh on Thursday and Chicago on Saturday.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Guarding goal in Seattle
Pickard will start on the road versus the Kraken on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Pickard will get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back after Stuart Skinner won on home ice over the Ducks on Friday. Pickard has routinely started once every three to four games since the start of November, going 5-3-0 with a 2.53 GAA and an .899 save percentage in that span. Saturday's contest is the start of a four-game road trip for the Oilers.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: First loss in over a month
Pickard conceded four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks. The fifth marker was an empty-netter.
Pickard had a rare subpar performance in the defeat -- it was just the second time through 13 appearances that he's allowed more than three goals in a game. The 32-year-old hadn't been tagged with a loss since Nov. 18, as he had won four consecutive contests prior to Sunday. Pickard has been a formidable backup to Stuart Skinner in 2024-25, posting an 8-4-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .898 save percentage.

Pickard will guard the road net Sunday in Anaheim, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Fourth win in row
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.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Set to start Saturday
Pickard will defend the home crease against the Sharks on Saturday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Pickard has made 11 appearances this season, going 7-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .901 save percentage. He'll draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday, meaning that Stuart Skinner will likely tend the twine against the Senators on Sunday. Pickard will have a favorable matchup Saturday, as the Sharks average just 2.74 goals per game, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

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: 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.

Pickard is coming off a 20-save effort in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. He has a 4-2-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and an .890 save percentage through seven appearances this season. Montreal is tied for 19th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

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.
