Everybody is so pumped for Pickard and his .563 SV% when the Oilers are short handed....we better hope the refs put their whistles away tonight.

Pickard has given up 7 goals on 16 shots shorthanded, with what is, analytically, the best powerplay shot suppression team in the NHL...and you guys are excited about that?

Pickard has an overall .886 SVP%, and Skinner has an .881 SVP%. They both have terrible numbers in one metric or another, so I'm not sure why the groupthink on this board has decided that Pickard is the better option. Pickard is not in any way an upgrade over Skinner. It's essentially a coin flip right now between these two guys; it makes no difference.

They both suck, Pickard just might not suck as much.

Pickard is the backup for a reason.

Hopefully the Oilers offense continues to pump the Preds.

Hopefully we get a solid goaltending performance. Been few and far between for either goalie.
