EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) 鈥� The Edmonton Oilers switched goaltenders for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights, with Stuart Skinner replacing Calvin Pickard on Saturday night.
Pickard, who took over as Edmonton鈥檚 starter during a first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, was day to day, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said.
Pickard was stellar in with 28 saves, but he 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 in career playoff games with the Oilers.
