Oilers fans who were hoping for some good news on Calvin Pickard will have to wait, as NHL insider Darren Dreger revealed he suffered a setback. The drama with <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Edmonton Oilers</a> and goalie Calvin Pickard has gotten ugly. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-head-coach-kris-knoblauch-confirms-calvin-pickard-fate-for-game-4' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Initially thought to be day-to-day</a>, Pickard's injury could keep him sidelined longer than expected, insider <a href='https://x.com/DarrenDreger' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Darren Dreger</a> with a league source said. I'm told it'll probably be at least a week. - Darren Dreger <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Lieutenant_Eric/status/1921916669032546432'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The suspected setback is something the Oilers don't need with their hot streak lately in the playoffs. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/calvin-pickard-8475717' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Pickard</a> played a key role in the Oilers' first-round victory over <a href='https://www.nhl.com/kings/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Los Angeles Kings</a>, going six straight games and helping the team to a 2-0 lead over <a href='https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Vegas Golden Knights</a> before being injured. In each of those starts, he made key saves and provided the team with a feeling of stability and consistency in the net. <h3>Skinner will likely play the remaining games in Round 2</h3> Now the responsibility falls back on Stuart Skinner. The Edmonton native returned for Game 3 and performed well, stopping 20 of 24 shots. Head coach Kris Knoblauch praised Skinner's performance following the game, and he'll likely be the team's go-to from this point forward. It's a tough situation, Knoblauch said to reporters after Game 3. I think he made some really big saves, especially early in the game (and) On the penalty kill. I don't think there's any bad goals. We put him out in difficult situations to defend. With Pickard's availability uncertain, the Oilers must rally as a team. Winning this second-round series will not be left to goaltending alone. Edmonton will have to elevate its game overall, stay physical, and support whoever is in the net.
