EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Calvin Pickard was set to start in goal for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
Pickard stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced in relief of Stuart Skinner to help win Game 4 on Thursday night in Florida, tying the best-of-seven series.
Pickard last started a game early in the second round against Vegas. He was injured and gave way to Skinner from that point until midway through the final.
Pickard is 7-0 in the playoffs. The 33-year-old journeyman has spent the past two NHL seasons with Edmonton, his sixth team.
“He’s been doing this for a long time,” teammate Evander Kane said. “He has a ton of experience and been a lot of different dressing rooms. That can help you along when you do come on to different teams, making a little bit of an easier transition. Now you’re just seeing that off-ice translate on to the ice with his performance, and how much he’s helped us to where we are here today.”
Sergei Bobrovsky was set to make his 22nd consecutive start for the Panthers this postseason.
