Today a new announcement was made that confirmed goaltending prospect Olivier Rodrigue of the Edmonton Oilers will receive a huge accolade ahead of the season. The Edmonton Oilers have been trying to find consistent goaltending for several seasons now. Stuart Skinner came in over the last 2 seasons and has shown he can be relied on at times. However, the Oilers might have an even better option just on the horizon in Olivier Rodrigue. A new set of reports has revealed that Olivier Rodrigue has been invited to attend the NHLPA's Rookie Showcase this summer. He will be in attendance with other top prospects like Easton Cowan, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sammyersson/status/1827088824562004191'> </a></blockquote></div> This means that the NHL sees Olivier Rodrigue as someone who could potentially play a significant amount of games for the Edmonton Oilers. Looking at the Edmonton Oilers goaltending situation this is a possibility. <h3>Could Olivier Rodrigue push his way into the NHL in 2024-25?</h3> At the moment the Edmonton Oilers have a solidified duo in net with Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard. However, inconsistency from both players could lead to a potential opportunity for Olivier Rodrigue. Last season in 23 games Calvin Pickard had a 2.45 goals against average and a 0.909 save percentage. While these numbers are good for a backup they are by far his best numbers in his NHL career. This means there is likely regression coming next season which could open things up for the younger Olivier Rodrigue. Olivier Rodrigue in the 2023-24 season played entirely in the AHL playing 37 total games. He boasted a 2.73 goals against average and a 0.916 save percentage. If Olivier Rodrigue can keep up this standard or even improve he could make it difficult to keep him in the AHL. As the NHL preseason and season gets underway look for a potential position battle for the backup role in Edmonton between Calvin Pickard and Olivier Rodrigue. Potentially Olivier Rodrigue could use the hype from the NHLPA's Rookie Showcase to make the jump this season.
