Calvin Pickard to Miss Start of Conference Finals
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard (lower body) will not be ready to rejoin the action for the start of the Western Conference Finals. "Probably not when the series starts, but I would think probably sometime in the same timeline as (Mattias) Ekholm, sometime during the series," Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said about Pickard on Friday. "Certainly not Game 1, but sometime in the middle." Pickard, who boasts a perfect 6-0 record in the playoffs, has missed three games with a lower-body injury. Initially, Pickard's injury left Edmonton in a difficult position, as Stuart Skinner struggled badly during the beginning of the postseason. However, Skinner closed out the second round against the Vegas Golden Knights with back-to-back shutouts and must be full of confidence heading into the West Finals.
