Calvin Pickard - NHL News & Rumors

Surrenders two goals in preseason opener Pickard turned aside 14 of 16 shots during Saturday's 3-2 preseason overtime win over Chicago.

Impact Pickard drew the start during Saturday's preseason opener and was in the crease for the entire matchup, as expected. The 34-year-old made 16 regular-season appearances for the Oilers last year, and he went 5-6-2 with a 3.68 GAA and .871 save percentage. Filip Gustavsson (hip) is expected to be sidelined until around early November, so Pickard seems likely to serve as the primary backup to Jesper Wallstedt once the regular season gets underway.

Slated to face Chicago Pickard is set to start at home against Chicago for Saturday's preseason game, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact While goaltenders will sometimes serve in only half of an exhibition tilt, the intention is for Pickard to play the full 60 minutes. He had a 5-6-2 record, 3.68 GAA and .871 save percentage in 16 regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. If Filip Gustavsson (hip) isn't available for the start of the campaign, then Pickard will likely enter the season as Jesper Wallstedt's understudy. However, Pickard might lose his roster spot once Gustavsson is healthy.

Agrees to one-year deal Pickard signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Wild on Wednesday.

Impact Pickard had a 3.68 GAA and an .871 save percentage in 16 regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. He also had a 3.26 GAA and an .886 save percentage in eight outings with AHL Bakersfield. Pickard will probably start 2026-27 in the minors, but he might get summoned during the campaign if Jesper Wallstedt or Filip Gustavsson suffer an injury.

Recalled on emergency basis Pickard was called up from AHL Bakersfield on an emergency basis Friday.

Impact Pickard had a tough go of things in the NHL this season, posting a 5-6-2 record with a 3.68 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 16 regular-season appearances. He was 4-3-1 with a 3.26 GAA and an .886 save percentage at the AHL level this season. There is no word on whether Connor Ingram or Tristan Jarry are injured at this time.

Logs shutout for Condors Pickard recorded a 22-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 1-0 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Impact Pickard is 2-2-1 with 12 goals allowed over five outings since he went to Bakersfield. He doesn't look to have a path back to the NHL just yet, as the Oilers don't have any back-to-back sets for the rest of March. Tristan Jarry has struggled, but Connor Ingram has played well enough that Edmonton doesn't appear to need to carry three goalies.

Lands on waivers Pickard was placed on waivers Sunday.

Impact Pickard has a 5-6-2 record with a 3.68 GAA and an .871 save percentage in 16 appearances for the Oilers this season. Assuming he clears waivers, the 33-year-old netminder will probably head to AHL Bakersfield. With Pickard poised to lose his roster spot, Edmonton will go with Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram as its two goaltenders.

Wins despite subpar outing Pickard stopped 13 of 16 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Pickard earned the win in this high-scoring matchup, but his overall performance was subpar while posting save percentage barely above .800. Pickard has posted a save percentage under .900 in four of his last six starts, going 2-3-0 with a 3.05 GAA in that span.

Starting in Winnipeg Pickard will patrol the visiting crease in Winnipeg on Thursday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Pickard has been mediocre this season, posting a 4-6-2 record with a 3.73 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 15 games. His one outstanding game this season came against the Jets, 10 days ago, when he turned aside 41 shots in a 3-1 victory. Winnipeg is 0-6-4 in their last 10 games and have fallen to the bottom of the NHL standings.

Ambushed by Philly Pickard turned aside 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The veteran netminder got very little defensive help as the visitors jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, and the Oilers' offense wasn't able to close the gap. Pickard has started three of seven games since Tristan Jarry (lower body) landed on IR, going 1-2-0 and allowing nine goals on 106 shots (.915 save percentage) while splitting duties in the crease with Connor Ingram.
