Oilers' Stuart Skinner to start Game 3, replacing injured Calvin Pickard
Head coach Kris Knoblauch says Pickard is day-to-day
The Edmonton Oilers switched goaltenders for Game 3 of their playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights with Stuart Skinner replacing Calvin Pickard.
Pickard, who took over as Edmonton's starter during a first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, was said to be day-to-day by Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch.
Pickard was stellar in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime win in Game 2 in with 28 saves, but appeared uncomfortable in the third period and was seen shaking out his left leg.
Pickard replaced regular-season starter Skinner when the Oilers trailed the Kings 2-0 in the first round.
The Oilers won six in a row with Pickard in net and took a 2-0 series lead home from Las Vegas to Rogers Place.
Skinner is 19-17 all-time in career playoff games with the Oilers.
