Calvin Pickard already had significant NHL and AHL time in multiple organizations before he signed a two-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers before the 2022-23 season. A tandem with Olivier Rodrigue, Pickard enjoyed immense success in Condorstown with a 23-12-2 record and a .912 save percentage. Expected to serve as a tandem again this season, Pickard only played four games for the Condors before being recalled by Edmonton and spending the rest of the 2023-24 season with the Oilers. He was 12-7-1 as part of a duo with Stuart Skinner.
