Forum Talk: Does Calvin Pickard Deserve To Start Game 5?

Whether it's a coincidence or not, Calvin Pickard is 7-0 in this post-season, and that's tough to accomplish. An .896 save percentage doesn't jump off the page, but Leon Draisaitl said after Game 4 that Pickard "is one of the best in the league at making the right save at the right time."

Skinner deserves a ton of respect for putting up some impressive performances this post-season after losing the starter's net early on and regaining it when Pickard suffered an injury. But right now, I think the Oilers just need to ride the hot hand.
