Impact Pickard is currently on Detroit's taxi squad, as he's the Red Wings' third option in net behind Thomas Greiss and Jonathan Bernier. He likely won't see regular playing time at the NHL level in 2020-21.

No longer in virus protocols Pickard has been cleared from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, TSN reports.
Shifts to taxi squad Pickard (COVID-19 protocol) was designated for the taxi squad Sunday.
Impact This is just a paper move, as Pickard will remain away from the team until he clears the league's protocol. Once he's healthy, he likely won't be promoted to the active roster again, as Jonathan Bernier (upper body) has been activated from injured reserve, meaning Bernier and Thomas Greiss will form a tandem in Detroit's crease.

Lands on COVID-19 list Pickard was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Pickard is currently Detroit's only player in the league's virus protocols. While he's away from the team, Thomas Greiss will likely take all the starts unless Jonathan Bernier (upper body) returns from IR. Kaden Fulcher will serve as the backup.

Up from taxi squad Pickard was called up from the taxi squad Wednesday and gave up two goals on 19 shots in relief of Thomas Greiss in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Impact With Jonathan Bernier (upper body) still sidelined for Wednesday's game, Pickard was initially set to be the backup. The Lightning blitzed Greiss for three goals in the first period, and Pickard ended up finishing the game. It was the first appearance of the season for the 28-year-old Pickard. He made three appearances and allowed 15 goals last season with the Red Wings. The Canadian netminder will likely serve as Greiss's understudy until Bernier is healthy again, but don't be surprised to see Pickard bounce between the taxi squad and the active roster.

Hailed to taxi squad Pickard was assigned to the taxi squad Monday.
Impact The Red Wings don't play again until Wednesday, so Pickard -- along with forwards Michael Rasmussen and Givani Smith -- was designated for the taxi squad in a procedural move. An NHL journeyman, Pickard hasn't appeared in an NHL contest this season.

Rises to active roster Pickard was activated from the taxi squad Saturday.
Impact This likely means that Jonathan Bernier (upper body) won't be ready for Saturday's game versus the Panthers. If that's the case, Pickard will back up Thomas Greiss in the contest. The Red Wings also play Sunday, so there's a possibility that he draws that start on the second leg of the back-to-back.

Moved to taxi squad Pickard was assigned to the Red Wings' taxi squad Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Pickard only started one game for the Red Wings last year, but he'll be available in a pinch, as his taxi-squad designation means he'll be able to practice and travel with the NHL regulars.

Returns from loan The Red Wings recalled Pickard from his loan with the Vienna Capitals (Austria) on Sunday.
Impact Pickard will battle for a spot on the 23-man roster during training camp. Jonathan Bernier and Thomas Greiss are locked into the top two spots. Pickard is likely the favorite for the No. 3 spot, although Kevin Boyle could compete for that job as well.

Loaned overseas Pickard will start the 2020-21 season on loan with the Vienna Capitals (Austria).
Impact Pickard saw action in three games for the Red Wings this past season, in which he went 0-2-0 with a 5.45 GAA, not exactly the type of performance that will earn the netminder additional looks from the NHL club. Whenever the AHL season kicks off, Pickard should make his way back to North America.
