Oilers make a call on Ryan Nugent Hopkins for Game 6

The Edmonton Oilers officially have their backs up against the wall.

The Oilers have a chance to even the Stanley Cup Final tomorrow evening in Sunrise, Florida. The also have the chance to lose the Stanley Cup to the Florida Panthers for the second season in a row. Again... backs up against the wall.

Win and you have a chance at the Stanley Cup on home ice. Lose and your season is over.

The stakes can't get any higher.

Thankfully, it looks like the Oilers will have the services of veteran forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

So... who starts in net?

Calvin Pickard or Stuart Skinner?

Coach Kris Knoblauch was asked this question earlier today and gave a somewhat surprising answer. Knoblauch told reporters that he'll first chat with players, coaches and management staff before making up his mind on Game 6's starter.

I've got to say... that's a pretty surprising development.

At this point, I think that the Oilers are leaning toward going back to Skinner. I subscribe to the "win and you're in" format and Pickard failed to win in Game 5. In my mind, that means next man up gets a shot.

Redemption time for Skinner?

What do you think Oilers fans?
