<p><a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/edmonton-oilers-calvin-pickard-start-game-3-against-los-angeles-kings">Pickard had taken the starting role </a>from Skinner ahead of Game 3 of their first-round matchup against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/los-angeles-kings/line-combinations">Los Angeles Kings</a> after Edmonton had lost the first two games of the series. </p>



<p>Since then, Pickard had gone 6-0 with an .888 save percentage (SV%). Despite allowing four goals in three of his six starts, the Oilers’ offence surged when he was in the crease.</p>



<p>However, Pickard suffered an undisclosed injury in Game 2 against the Golden Knights, forcing Knoblauch to turn to Skinner for Game 3. </p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="141"></div>



<p>Skinner allowed six goals in both of his starts against the Kings in Round 1. During his three starts this postseason, he’s 0-3 with an .817 SV%.</p>



<p>Game 4 is Monday in Las Vegas. Puck drop is at 9:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. PT.</p>
