Former Wings goaltender Calvin Pickard got his first career NHL playoff start last night for the Oilers against the Canucks.
Pickard was headed into a tough situation where the Oilers desperately needed a win after going down 2-1 in the series in game 3.
The 32 year old goaltender ended up having a great game for the Oilers as he stopped 19 of 21 shots he faced.
Pickard spent 3 seasons with the Red Wings organization, during which he alternated between the Red Wings and their AHL affiliates, the Griffins, located in Grand Rapids.
