Drafted 49th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2010, Pickard has a career 47-61-11 record with a .904 save percentage and 2.93 GAA split between the Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Philadelphia Flyers, Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings, and Oilers.
The Moncton, N.B., native has represented Canada twice at the World Championship, taking home a gold medal in 2016 and a silver medal in 2017.
