Oilersnation Everyday: Calvin Pickard starts Game 4 versus the Canucks

The Edmonton Oilers are heading into Game 4 down 2-1 after losing 4-3 on Sunday night. Stuart Skinner was pulled after allowing four goals on 11 shots in two periods. The burning question heading into tonight’s action was, does Kris Knoblauch turn to him again? The answer is no. Calvin Pickard gets the nod tonight in what will be his first career playoff start.

Pickard has been reliable for the Oilers all season. Since being called up from the Bakersfield Condors in place of Jack Campbell, Pickard had a 0.909 save percentage and a 2.45 goals against average in 23 games, along with a shutout.

Is this the right decision by head coach Knoblauch? Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will dive into today at noon live on Oilersnation Everyday only on the Oilersnation YouTube channel.
