Oilers Coach Reveals Process Behind Game 6 Goalie Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers face a serious conundrum entering a must-win Game 6 against the Florida Panthers, having to decide between starting Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard in net.

Over the past three seasons, over the 10 series in which they have won three games, the Panthers are 4-6 in their first chance to close out an opponent. In the past two seasons, they are 2-5 and, of course, famously took three chances to finish off the Edmonton Oilers in last season’s Stanley Cup Final before winning in Game 7.

Here's who should be the starting goalie for the Edmonton Oilers for the Stanley Cup Game 6 vs. the Florida Panthers.

The Edmonton Oilers are going to take a gamble when it comes to picking a starting goalie ahead of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Much has been made about the Edmonton Oilers’ ability to come from behind during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Edmonton has eight comeback wins, equalling the franchise record for a single postseason.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was a night to forget for Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman and one that could define Brad Marchand’s legacy with the Florida Panthers. For one, Florida’s 5–2 win in Edmonton put them one victory away from back-to-back titles. Regarding Marchand, he scored twice, with both goals coming at Walman’s expense.
