Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting versus Chicago

Pickard will defend the home crease against Chicago on Thursday, Tom Gazzola of TSN 1260 reports.

Pickard has won his last three starts, which came as part of the Oilers' 14-game winning streak. He is 4-2-0 with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage this year -- he has taken over for Jack Campbell as the Oilers' backup to Stuart Skinner. Pickard will face the Blackhawks who are 31st in the NHL in both shots on goal (26.3) and goals per game (2.17).
