EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers switched goaltenders for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights, with Stuart Skinner replacing Calvin Pickard on Saturday night. Pickard, who took over as Edmonton's starter during a first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, was day to day, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. Pickard was stellar inEdmonton's 5-4 overtime win in Game 2with 28 saves, but he appeared uncomfortable in the third period and was seen shaking out his left leg. Pickard replaced regular-season starter Skinner when the Oilers trailed the Kings 2-0 in the first round. The Oilers won six in a row with Pickard in net and took a 2-0 series lead home from Las Vegas to Rogers Place. Skinner is 19-17 in career playoff games with the Oilers. ___ AP NHL:https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
