Calvin Pickard Slated to Play Full Game Against Chicago on Saturday

Goaltender Calvin Pickard is set to start and play the full 60 minutes for the Edmonton Oilers in Saturday's home preseason game against Chicago. Pickard posted a 5-6-2 record, 3.68 GAA, and .871 save percentage across 16 regular-season appearances in Edmonton during the 2025-26 campaign. With Filip Gustavsson currently sidelined with a hip injury, Pickard is positioned to serve as Jesper Wallstedt's understudy to begin the year before potentially losing his roster spot upon Gustavsson's return.
