Pickard (undisclosed) is day-to-day and won't be in the lineup for Saturday's home matchup versus Vegas in Game 3, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Pickard will miss at least one outing after being hurt in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2. He has posted a 6-0 record with a 2.84 GAA and an .888 save percentage through seven appearances this postseason. With Pickard unavailable, Stuart Skinner will be between the pipes for Saturday's contest, while Olivier Rodrigue will be the backup.

Pickard stopped 28 of 32 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights didn't go quietly, rallying back from a two-goal deficit in the third period. They also killed off a five-minute power play, but Leon Draisaitl broke through at 15:20 of the extra session to give the Oilers a 2-0 series lead. Pickard hasn't done anything particularly outstanding so far in the second round, stopping 43 of 49 shots, but he's now won six straight playoff contests. There's no reason to think the Oilers will turn away from him while that streak is ongoing, so expect the 33-year-old to tend the twine again in Saturday's Game 3.

Pickard will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights in Thursday's Game 2, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers pulled out a comeback win in Game 1, with Pickard stopping 15 of 17 shots. The 33-year-old netminder gave up both goals to Mark Stone in the first period. The Golden Knights figure to be relentless in their push to even the series, so Pickard will need to stay sharp to double the Oilers' advantage in the series.

Pickard stopped 15 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Pickard gave up two goals to Mark Stone in the first 9:03 of the game. After that, the Oilers' defense tightened up, and the offense eventually gave Pickard enough support to earn his fifth straight win. The 33-year-old has yet to lose in six playoff outings, though the Oilers are mostly winning on the strength of their offense rather than any heroics from between the pipes. As long as he continues to get results, Pickard is poised to keep starting, so expect him to tend the twine in Game 2 on Thursday.

Pickard will draw the road start against the Golden Knights on Monday in Game 1, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

After replacing Stuart Skinner in Game 2 of the first round, Pickard started in every game for the rest of the series and helped the Oilers beat the Kings in six games. His numbers were nothing to write home about, as he posted an .893 save percentage and a 2.93 GAA over five appearances. Based on that, Pickard might not have a long leash in this second-round series against Vegas if he struggles early, and Stuart Skinner will be waiting in the wings if the team is forced to make a switch in goal. Pickard turned aside 20 of 22 shots during a 3-2 win in his sole appearance against the Golden Knights during the regular season.

Pickard stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

This was Pickard's fourth straight win, and it allowed the Oilers to complete their comeback from a 2-0 series deficit. They advanced with this victory and will meet the Golden Knights in the second round. Pickard has allowed 13 shots on 121 shots over five playoff appearances, but he's kept the starting job because he's getting results. If he falters versus Vegas, it wouldn't be surprising to see Stuart Skinner get another chance in goal.

Pickard will patrol the home crease versus Los Angeles on Thursday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Pickard took over from Stuart Skinner midway through the third period in Game 2 and has led the Oilers to three straight wins after they lost the opening two games. Pickard has allowed eight goals on 91 shots in his three playoff starts versus the Kings. Los Angeles is second in NHL scoring during the playoffs, generating 4.00 goals per game.

Pickard stopped 21 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Pickard gave up just a power-play goal by Andrei Kuzmenko in the second period, which was quickly answered by Evander Kane. The 33-year-old Pickard has helped the Oilers flip a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead in the series, putting them in the driver's seat heading into Game 6 on Thursday. Pickard is a virtual lock to start that contest considering he has all the momentum on his side.

Pickard will be between the pipes on the road for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup with the Kings, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pickard is riding a two-game winning streak despite having given up seven goals on 69 combined shots (.899 save percentage) in those outings. At this point, Pickard likely has earned enough leash to get another start even if he falters in Game 5 -- though the Oilers have Stuart Skinner, who is no doubt anxious to retake the starting job.

Pickard stopped 38 of 41 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers pulled off a late comeback, scoring twice in the third period and then again on a power play in overtime to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the game. Pickard has allowed seven goals on 69 shots over the last two contests, but he's won both of those games, so it looks like he's overtaken Stuart Skinner as the Oilers' No. 1 goalie. The Oilers will look to take their home-ice success on the road when they play in Los Angeles for Game 5 on Tuesday.
