Here’s the latest on Calvin Pickard up to now.
- Recalled on an emergency basis by the Edmonton Oilers in mid-April 2026, after a portion of the season where his NHL results were mixed but he had solid AHL numbers [source: multiple outlets reporting the recall and contract context].[1][2]
- In the 2025-26 season, he posted a 5-6-2 record with a 3.68 GAA and .871 save percentage in 16 NHL appearances, with better numbers (4-3-1, 3.26 GAA, .886 save %) in 2025-26 at the AHL level before the recall; he remained a depth option behind the Oilers’ top trio of goalies.[2][8][1]
- There have been mentions of injury updates or notes around goalies in Edmonton, but no definitive long-term injury sidelining for Pickard as of the latest reporting; the emphasis has been on him serving as backup to Stuart Skinner with potential for more action if needed.[3][4][9]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise date-stamped articles or set up a quick snapshot of his game-by-game NHL stats for the season.
