Skinner will start Game 3, Pickard misses morning skate

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner told reporters that he will start Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.

It will be Skinner's first appearance since Game 2 of the first round against the Los Angeles Kings. Calvin Pickard had taken the reins since then, but was missing from Saturday's morning skate.

Pickard appeared to be shaken up after Golden Knights forward Tomas Hertl fell on his left leg during Game 2, though he remained in the contest.
