Set to start Saturday Pickard will defend the home crease against the Sharks on Saturday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Impact 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.

Stops 29 shots Thursday Pickard stopped 29 of 30 shots in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
Impact 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.

Draisaitl sparks Oilers with NHL-leading 21st goal and 3 assists in 7-1 win over Wild

Leon Draisaitl scored his NHL-leading 21st goal and had three assists to send the Edmonton Oilers past the Minnesota Wild 7-1 for their fourth consecutive victory

Tending twine Thursday Pickard will defend the road cage against the Wild on Thursday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Impact Pickard is actually riding a two-game winning streak during which he posted a .887 save percentage but has only played in 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 big share of the workload if he can string some wins together.
DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Defeats Columbus Pickard stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact 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.

Gets starting nod against Jackets Pickard will be between the pipes at home versus Columbus on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Gets overtime win Pickard stopped 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
Impact 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.

Slated to guard road net Pickard is expected to start on the road against Utah on Friday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels
Impact Pickard has a 4-3-0 record, 2.44 GAA and .893 save percentage in eight appearances in 2024-25. He stopped a solid 22 of 24 shots in his last start Nov. 18, but it ended up being a 3-0 loss to Montreal. Utah ranks 22nd offensively with 2.73 goals per game.

Takes loss in Montreal Pickard stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Pickard did his job but 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 thirds 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 goals-against average and an .893 save percentage. Edmonton is back at it Tuesday night in Ottawa, when presumably Stuart Skinner will start.

Starting in Montreal Pickard will guard the road goal Monday versus the Canadiens, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs overtime win Pickard turned aside 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Impact 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.

Set to start Thursday Pickard will start Thursday's home matchup against the Predators, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Impact Pickard worked in the starter's net during Wednesday's practice session, and he'll officially draw his first start in over a week. Although he's had limited opportunities this season behind Stuart Skinner, Pickard has been effective in recent outings, posting a 3-1-0 record, 2.02 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last four starts.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Winning streak snapped Monday Pickard stopped 13 of 16 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to New Jersey.
Impact Pickard was coming off three straight wins when called upon duty, but that streak was halted Monday in what was a subpar display from the 32-year-old. Pickard has been hit-or-miss this season, posting three games with a save percentage above .920 and three others with a mark below the .860 range. He should remain as Stuart Skinner's backup going forward, meaning his fantasy upside should be minimal and could only be worth considering as a streaming option.

Starting against New Jersey Pickard will start Monday's home game against the Devils.
Impact Pickard has earned wins in his last three starts, posting a 1.67 GAA and .938 save percentage during that time. He'll draw the start for the third time in the Oilers' last five games as he attempts to keep his hot streak going Monday.

Steady in third straight win Pickard allowed a goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Impact Pickard picked up his third straight win as the Oilers' offense performed well even with Connor McDavid (ankle) out. The 32-year-old Pickard has allowed more than two goals in just one of his five appearances this season, which was also his lone loss Oct. 12 versus the Blackhawks. Stuart Skinner remains in the starting role, but Pickard could be in line for something closer to a 50-50 split of playing time if he continues to make the most of his starting opportunities. The Oilers wrap up their road trip Sunday with a visit to Calgary for the second Battle of Alberta of 2024-25.
