Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch declined to name either Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard as his starting goaltender for Tuesday night's Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Calvin Pickard stepped into a dire situation for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, and the goalie’s strong advanced stats helped him remain undefeated this postseason and his team draw even in their championship series rematch against the Florida Panthers.

And he returned a new man, going 6-2 with a trio of shutouts on the way to reaching the Round 4 rematch against Florida, where he pushed it to 7-2 before the wheels started falling off again with Edmonton’s first back-to-back losses since playoffs began.

But Edmonton Oilers' goaltender Calvin Pickard isn't just anyone. He has forged a career excelling in secondary roles, the classic blue-collar contributor exemplifying work ethic and a straightforward mentality.
