Calvin Pickard has stepped into the spotlight for the Edmonton Oilers, taking over as the starting goalie in the playoffs after a shaky start from Stuart Skinner. Following two losses against the L.A. Kings, Pickard secured three consecutive victories, including a pivotal Game 5 win, showcasing his skills with a .904 save percentage and a 2.62 goals-against average in the postseason. His performance has instilled confidence within the team, as players like Zach Hyman praised his ability to make crucial saves, reinforcing the belief that the Oilers can rely on either goalie. Head coach Kris Knoblauch highlighted the depth in their goaltending, emphasizing the importance of both Pickard and Skinner for a long playoff run, especially after last season's experience.
