Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has opted to make a few lineup changes, notably a major shakeup in net. The starting goaltender for the game is going to be Calvin Pickard, which will be a good test for the Oilers' backup netminder.
In the last meeting between the two clubs over the weekend, the Oilers blanked the Kraken 4-0 with Stuart Skinner between the pipes, stopping all 26 shots he faced. He followed that performance up with a strong outing against the Minnesota Wild, allowing only a single goal on the game.
