US EditionStuart Skinner replaces injured Calvin Pickard as Oilers' starter for Game 3 vs. Golden Knights
- For Game 3 of their NHL playoff matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, May 10, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers made a goaltender change, inserting Stuart Skinner in place of Calvin Pickard.
- The change happened because Pickard, who became Edmonton’s starter during the opening round series versus Los Angeles, had a day-to-day status due to discomfort and injury concerns, according to head coach Kris Knoblauch.
- In Game 2 on May 8 in Las Vegas, Pickard delivered a strong performance by stopping a high number of shots, notably making every save during the overtime period, but he showed signs of discomfort late in the game, frequently shaking his left leg, even as Edmonton secured a 5-4 victory in extra time.
- Coach Kris Knoblauch expressed his belief that Stuart Skinner would eventually return to the net and emphasized his confidence in both goaltenders as the team carried a 2-0 series advantage back to Rogers Place; Skinner holds a 19-17 career playoff record with the Oilers.
- Skinner’s return suggests the Oilers aim to maintain strong goaltending while monitoring Pickard’s health, as they prepare for Game 3 to continue their advantage over the Golden Knights in the playoffs.
