Pickard stopped 13 of 16 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Pickard earned the win in this high-scoring matchup, but his overall performance was subpar en route to posting a 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.

Pickard will patrol the visiting crease in Winnipeg on Thursday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
EDGE Analysis
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. One of his only outstanding games this season came against the Jets on Dec. 29, when he turned aside 41 shots in a 3-1 victory. The Jets are 0-6-4 in their last 10 games and have fallen to the bottom of the NHL standings.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Pickard is expected to start at home against Philadelphia on Saturday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
EDGE Analysis
Pickard stopped 41 of 42 shots en route to a 3-1 win over Winnipeg on Monday. He has a 4-5-2 record, 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage in 14 outings in 2025-26. The Flyers are tied for 20th in goals per game with 2.92.

Pickard stopped 41 of 42 shots on net in Monday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Pickard earned his way back to the win column in Monday's contest with his first performance of 40-plus saves since Apr. 27. With the win, he is up to a 4-5-2 record with an .874 save percentage and a 3.69 GAA across 14 appearances this season. Monday's win was the 33-year-old netminder's first since Dec. 4, snapping a three-game losing streak. While he has played subpar throughout the first half of this season, Monday's performance was by far his best of the year and is a strong building block for him moving forward. With Tristan Jarry (lower body) projected to be sidelined for at least another week, Pickard should see a few more opportunities in the interim while rotating starts with Connor Ingram. Pickard is a solid short-term streaming option, and his next chance to take the ice is Wednesday against the Bruins.

Pickard will defend the road net against Winnipeg on Monday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pickard will return to the crease after Connor Ingram started three straight games, including Saturday's 3-2 loss to Calgary. The 33-year-old Pickard has a 3-5-2 record this season with a 3.93 GAA and an .861 save percentage through 13 appearances. Winnipeg ranks 21st in the league with 2.92 goals per game this year.

Pickard turned aside 32 of 36 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota, with the Wild's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
Most of the scoring took place in the first period as the Oilers emerged staring at a 3-2 deficit, and while Pickard played well the rest of the way, his offensive support disappeared. The veteran netminder has just one win since the beginning of November, going 1-4-1 with a rough 4.16 GAA and .867 save percentage over his last nine outings, but with Tristan Jarry (lower body) on the shelf, Pickard will see a heavier workload in the Edmonton crease, with Connor Ingram -- who has yet to make an appearance in an NHL game this season -- as his backup.

Pickard will be between the road pipes in Minnesota on Saturday, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
EDGE Analysis
Pickard is currently the No. 1 goaltender for Edmonton, with Tristan Jarry on injured reserve due to 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 have generated 3.03 goals per game, which is tied with Detroit for 15th in the NHL this year.

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

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