The Edmonton Oilers picked up a massive win to open their second-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights. Once again, the Oilers pulled off the comeback to steal home ice away from Vegas.

But it’s hard not to look at the series and see Pickard as the common denominator when it comes to the Oilers’ reversal of fortunes. He didn’t just come in and make saves, he absolutely saved this series for an Edmonton crew hellbent on returning to the Stanley Cup Final for the second year in a row.
