Oilers won’t commit to starting goalie for Game 4

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch isn’t ready to tell the world who his starting goalie will be on Tuesday.

At least not yet.

Meeting the media Monday, Knoblauch declined to name his starter for Game 4 against the Vancouver Canucks.

“I’ll let you guys know tomorrow morning,” Knoblauch said.

Starter Stuart Skinner was replaced by Calvin Pickard after giving up four goals on 15 shots in a 4-3 loss in Game 3 on Sunday, giving Vancouver a 2-1 lead in the second-round series.

The Edmonton-born Skinner has seen his numbers dip in the playoffs. He has a 3.22 goals-against average and .877 save percentage in eight post-season games after posting 2.62 and .905 in 59 regular-season games.

For Pickard, Sunday marked his first career post-season action.

The Oilers also recalled veteran goalie Jack Campbell earlier in the playoffs after the AHL season ended for Bakersfield. Campbell was sent down earlier this season after a rough start to the campaign.
