Oilers Reveal Big Injury Update on Calvin Pickard
The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for Game 3 of their second-round playoff matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights. Edmonton took the first two games of the series on the road and now holds a 2-0 series advantage as they head home for Games 3 and 4. However, the Oilers could be in some trouble due to an injury. Starting goalie Calvin Pickard has been deemed day-to-day ahead of Game 3. Advertisement Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch provided an injury update on the starting goalie. Knoblauch also mentioned that Stuart Skinner would be taking his place in the net moving forward due to the injury. This is massive news for the Oilers, as Pickard had won every game that he started for Edmonton. Stuart will now be tasked with helping the Oilers get past the Golden Knights, but his playoff numbers are a little troubling. Skinner has not played since Game 2 of the first round against the Los Angeles Kings. The Oilers pulled him after he allowed five goals on 28 shots. Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard (30) deflects a Vegas Golden Knights shot with his stick during the third period of game two of the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Against Vegas over his career in the postseason, Skinner owns a 3.97 GAA and .875 save percentage. The Golden Knights will look to take advantage of this situation as they try to get back into the series. Advertisement His regular season numbers were better in general, going 22-10-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .896 save percentage. The Oilers will be heavily relying on the veteran goalie to help them get another win in this series. Game 3 between the two sides is set to kick off at 9 p.m. ET Saturday.

ANALYSIS: Jets-Stars series has very different personality from 1st round
I have always been one to be guarded about making bold statements that profess 'the greatest' or 'the best.' In this day and age, in 2025, we are far too quick to use those monikers. It's called recency bias. Sunday night's Game 7 heroics against the St. Louis Blues do not need any type of hyperbole. And quite frankly, nothing the Winnipeg Jets do from this point requires any level of exaggeration. It's just that special. This year feels special. The Blues and Jets were great. The best? Not so sure — but they were great. Story continues below advertisement So here we are, in the next round. And yet, it just doesn't feel the same. Everyone could easily describe the Jets-Blues series in a few words. The tension, the excitement that built throughout the whole first-round series against the Blues will be hard to match, for a number of reasons.

I suspect we won't see a 100-hit game in this round like we did in the last round. And remember, the chaos throughout the Blues series took more than two weeks to build to a double-overtime crescendo. But that's just not the case in this Stars-Jets series. At least not yet. By the time Game 2 ends Friday night, we will start to see and feel that same drama that occurred five or six days into the last series. And when this Dallas-Winnipeg series returns to Canada Life Centre (and it will return) for Game 5, we will be right where we were after Game 5 against the Blues. Story continues below advertisement Yes, the intensity, the anxiety, the drama will be in this series. It will just take time. And here's fair warning: if the Jets triumph and move on to the third round, we will go through the same circle of emotions one more time. Such is life in the Stanley Cup playoffs, where every series has its own personality. There is every chance that this round of games might be greater than the last series. Really. It is very possible. We just haven't figured out what personality this series has yet. But don't worry — we will.
