Pickard allowed a goal on seven shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Jets.
Pickard relieved Stuart Skinner just over halfway through the game, but the damage was already done. The lone goal against Pickard was a Mark Scheifele power-play tally in the third period. Last season, Pickard saw action in 23 games, posting a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in the regular season. The 32-year-old will back up Skinner to begin 2024-25, though both goalies should be due for a start this weekend with the Oilers set to host the Blackhawks on Saturday and the Flames on Sunday.
