Connor Ingram had a solid outing in Edmonton's 6-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Thursday, but Pickard will tend the twine on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 33-year-old Pickard allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, and has struggled with consistency most of the season.
