HIGHLIGHTS | Pickard Save | Edmonton Oilers Calvin Pickard makes a save against Minnesota's Joel Eriksson Ek in the second period of Saturday's game.

Starting in Minnesota Pickard will be between the road pipes in Minnesota on Saturday, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Impact Pickard is currently the No. 1 goaltender in Edmonton with Tristan Jarry on injured reserve with a lower-body injury suffered Thursday versus Boston. Pickard has been mediocre this season, posting a 3-4-2 mark with a 3.91 GAA and an .858 save percentage. The Wild are generating 3.03 goals per game, tied with Detroit for 15th in the NHL.

Perfect in relief effort Pickard turned aside all 12 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Pickard entered the game near the end of the second period in relief of Tristan Jarry, who left the game with an apparent lower-body injury. Pickard made the most of his chance, as he blanked the Bruins throughout his time in the crease Thursday. Despite not playing enough for the win, the 33-year-old netminder used his performance to boost his season stats to an .857 save percentage and a 3.91 GAA through 12 appearances. With Jarry's status unknown, Pickard could potentially receive an uptick in playing time moving forward. However, he remains an unreliable option in fantasy until he can post consecutive wins this season. His next chance to take the ice is Saturday in Minnesota.

Yields four goals in loss Pickard allowed four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Pickard hadn't played in the last four games, but he got the nod for the second half of a back-to-back after Tristan Jarry guided the Oilers to a win Saturday over the Maple Leafs. With Jarry now in town after Edmonton acquired him for Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak, Pickard's outlook for playing time remains pretty sparse. On the year, Pickard is 3-4-2 with a 4.06 GAA and an .851 save percentage through 11 outings, and he's unlikely to play more than a typical backup would unless Jarry gets hurt or sustains a lengthy slump.

Tending twine Sunday Pickard will defend the road crease against Montreal on Sunday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Pickard didn't appear in any of the Oilers' last four games, and he'll likely continue to see limited playing time after the team traded for Tristan Jarry on Friday. However, Pickard will be between the pipes in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. He drew a home start against Montreal on Oct. 23, and he allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 save percentage) en route to a 6-5 victory.

Gives up four goals in win Pickard allowed four goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact Pickard earned his first win since Oct. 23 versus the Canadiens, but it was hardly a confident showing for the 33-year-old. He allowed a couple of goals late in the first period to give the Kraken a little life, but the Oilers' offense was steady throughout the contest to secure the win. Pickard is now 3-3-2 with a 4.04 GAA and an .851 save percentage in 10 appearances this season. Stuart Skinner will likely get the nod versus the struggling Jets on Saturday.

Starting against Seattle Pickard will patrol the home crease versus Seattle on Thursday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impact Pickard has been a disaster this season, going 2-3-2 with a horrendous 4.04 GAA and an equally as bad .847 save percentage. His peripherals are the worst in the league for any goaltender who has played more than three games. The Kraken are 31st in NHL scoring, averaging 2.46 goals per game.

Poor showing in relief appearance Pickard allowed four goals on 22 shots in relief of Stuart Skinner in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact Pickard played the final two periods after Skinner gave up four goals on eight shots in the first. This could have been a chance for Pickard to stake a claim to a larger role in the crease, but he again came up short, though he was able to avoid the loss. The 33-year-old is at a 2-3-2 record with a 4.04 GAA and an .847 save percentage through nine appearances. It's unclear which goalie will start Saturday in Seattle.

Tagged with OT loss Thursday Pickard stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Pickard was beaten late in the third period by Nick Paul, who notched his first goal of the season, and later by Jake Guentzel, who buried the game-winning goal in overtime. Pickard has gone winless in his last five outings, a stretch in which he's gone 0-2-2 with an .854 percentage and a 4.19 GAA. He's not a reliable option in most fantasy formats right now, so he's better suited to stay on waivers in all leagues.

Guarding road goal Pickard is set to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Thursday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Pickard has appeared in just seven games this year, but his relatively light workload isn't surprising given that he's allowed at least three goals in each of his past six outings. He's 2-3-1 with a 4.18 GAA and an .830 save percentage through seven appearances this year. Tampa Bay has a 10-7-2 record and ranks 15th in goals per game with 3.11.

Allows five goals Thursday Pickard stopped 20 of 25 shots in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Pickard was beaten once in the first period, three more times in the second and once more in the final frame. The 33-year-old veteran netminder has been delivering subpar performances of late and has gone winless in his last four outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.85 GAA and an .821 save percentage over that span. Pickard has posted a save percentage of .900 or higher in just one of his seven appearances this season.
