Edmonton is benching Stuart Skinner in favor of Calvin Pickard for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final as the series shifts back to Canada. None of this is all too surprising. Skinner has been good, not great this postseason (2.99 goals against average, 89.1 save percentage) and was downright awful in Game 4.

Greg Wyshynski of ESPN reported that the Oilers will be starting backup goaltender Calvin Pickard over starter Stuart Skinner in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This comes after Skinner was pulled in Games 3 and 4. Pickard notably backstopped the team to an overtime victory in Game 4.
