Is Calvin Pickard emerging as the Oilers no.1 goalie?

The Edmonton Oilers lost 6-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One thing is clear at the moment. It was once again a shaky performance for Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner of Edmonton, Alberta. Skinner gave up five goals on 31 shots for a poor save percentage of .839 and has seen his save percentage drop below .900 for the season at .898.

Yes, it was a terrible game defensively for the Oilers. Defensemen Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard were a -3 and -2 respectively. Heck, even Connor McDavid was a -3 after scoring the overtime winner for Canada in the Four Nations Faceoff in Boston on Thursday night. Skinner did make a solid save on a two on zero when the Oilers defense were caught napping.
