Gets starting nod for Thursday Pickard will be between the pipes for Thursday's road clash with the Blue Jackets, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impact Pickard has seriously underwhelmed this season, giving up four or more goals in four of his six outings to start the year. Overall, the veteran netminder is 2-2-1 with a .836 save percentage. With the Oilers utilizing Stuart Skinner on the road against the Flyers on Wednesday, that will give Pickard the nod for the second of the back-to-back.

Awful in relief Pickard stopped 16 of 21 shots in relief of Stuart Skinner in Saturday's 9-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Skinner gave up four goals on 13 shots and had a worse game by save percentage. That said, Pickard did nothing to stop the bleeding -- a better performance could have helped him stake a claim to more playing time. Over six appearance, Pickard is 2-2-1 with a 4.00 GAA and an .836 save percentage, putting him among the worst goalies this year in both categories. It's unclear who will start Monday versus the Blue Jackets, but the Oilers are embarking on a seven-game road trip that includes a pair of back-to-back sets after that, so both Pickard and Skinner will need to improve to avoid sending the team's season fully off the rails.

Tagged with loss Monday Pickard stopped 19 of 22 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Pickard made his first start since Oct. 26, when he suffered an overtime loss to the Canucks, but he didn't fare any better this time around. The Oilers were unable to hold an early two-goal lead, and Pickard was tagged with his second loss of the season. In five starts, the 33-year-old backup netminder has gone 2-2-1 with a 3.42 GAA and an .850 save percentage. His numbers are far from exciting, and he's only valuable in matchup-based situations as a streaming alternative, especially given he's nowhere near from stealing the starting gig off Stuart Skinner.

Loses in overtime Pickard stopped 23 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Pickard was sharp enough in the third period to get the game to overtime, but he was beaten on a Kiefer Sherwood tip-in goal 1:43 into the extra session. With at least four goals allowed in each of his last three outings, Pickard is not playing well enough in the backup role to provide a meaningful challenge to Stuart Skinner's starting job. If both goalies continue to top out at average, the Oilers will likely feel pressure to make a change in the crease, and Pickard's $1 million cap hit makes him the easier netminder to move out in a trade. The Oilers don't have a back-to-back within the next week, so it's unclear when Pickard will get his next start.

Draws start in Vancouver Pickard will tend the road twine Sunday versus the Canucks, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Pickard has conceded nine goals over his last two starts, but he picked up a win in his last appearance against Montreal on Thursday, stopping 22 of 27 shots. The Oilers were defeated by the Kraken on Saturday, while the Canucks lost to the Canadiens, so neither club has the rest advantage Sunday. Pickard owns a 2-2-1 record, 2.19 GAA and .920 save percentage over five career regular-season outings against Vancouver.

Ugly outing in win Pickard stopped 22 of 27 shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Pickard was far from his best in this contest, but the Oilers were able to pull off a comeback with a three-goal third period. The 33-year-old netminder improved to 2-1-0 on the year, but he's allowed 10 goals on 64 shots, so he has yet to really look comfortable between the pipes. Stuart Skinner's also had some troubles -- expect the Oilers to give both goalies fairly regular time until one can get in a groove. They should each get a start over the weekend with Edmonton set for road games in Seattle on Saturday and in Vancouver on Sunday.

Impact After a scoreless first period, the Devils' offense got rolling with a Jack Hughes tally midway through the second, and the Oilers were never able to catch up. Pickard has started two of Edmonton's first five games while working behind Stuart Skinner in the crease, going 1-1-0 and allowing five goals on just 37 shots.
