Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Set to start Tuesday

Pickard will patrol the road crease in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Jets, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Pickard looks set to begin 2025-26 as the backup netminder for the Oilers, though a strong preseason could earn him something closer to a 50-50 split with Stuart Skinner. Pickard went 22-10-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 36 regular-season games last year.
