Calvin Pickard Set To Make Wild Debut Tuesday Against Winnipeg

Goaltender Calvin Pickard is slated to make his Minnesota Wild debut during Tuesday's road matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. Pickard will take the second half of a back-to-back set following Jesper Wallstedt's start Monday. The 34-year-old netminder signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Minnesota in July after posting a 5-6-2 record, 3.68 GAA, and .871 save percentage across 16 appearances for the Edmonton Oilers during the 2025-26 campaign.
