The win at Rogers Place evened their Western Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Pickard, who had previously only seen mop-up duty in Game 3 of this series, stepped in for starting goalie Stuart Skinner and made 19 saves. His solid performance helped stabilize the Oilers, especially after their two-goal lead was erased in the third period.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Bouchard and Leon Draisaitl each contributed a goal and an assist. Bouchard&#8217;s decisive goal came just in time, ensuring the Oilers regained momentum in the series. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for Edmonton, providing an early boost for their team in a search for much needed win.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a valiant comeback by the Canucks in the third period, the Oilers&#8217; late-game resilience and Pickard&#8217;s steady goaltending were key to their victory. This sets up an exciting Game 5, as the Oilers and Canucks continue their battle for a spot in the conference finals.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j0l3FlOvKuA?si=r4EUi9ZG6RZlni6k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calvin Pickard earned a win in his first playoff start and Evan Bouchard netted the tiebreaking goal with 38.1 seconds remaining, as the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":483097,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17007,16850],"news_category":[16709,14084],"gn_keywords":[17889,19902],"acf":{"announce":"Calvin Pickard stood between the sticks for the first time in playoffs and proved crucial for the win","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/483096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/483096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":483099,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/483096\/revisions\/483099"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483096"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=483096"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=483096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
