The 33-year-old career backup <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/calvin-pickard-8475717' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Pickard</a> played in 36 regular-season games, registering 22-10-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The 26-year-old <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/stuart-skinner-8479973' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Skinner</a> was the workhorse starter with a 26-18-4 record in 51 games, registering a 2.81 GAA and a .896 save percentage, with three shutouts. He was part of last season's playoff push to the Stanley Cup Final, where Edmonton fell to the Florida Panthers in seven games. Pickard has eight playoff appearances to his name entering the second-round game. The Oilers are looking to get revenge on the 2023 playoff loss that had the Golden Knights beat them in six games to later claim their first Stanley Cup championship. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/kris-knoblauch-makes-a-statement-on-the-oilers-goalie-controversy-ahead-of-game-1-against-the-golden-knights' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Is Pickard finally the answer for the Oilers as they look for stability</a> in the crease?
