Pickard has made his case to be the Oilers' starter this postseason. He took over the Edmonton crease for an ineffective Skinner in the first round against the Los Angeles Kings, and went 6-0 until an injury in their second-round series against Vegas gave Skinner the starting job again.

After playing an instrumental role in the Edmonton Oilers' 5-4 overtime win in Game 4 on Thursday to even the Stanley Cup Final, goaltender Calvin Pickard will start Saturday's pivotal Game 5 against the visiting Florida Panthers.
