Oilers Name Connor Ingram Starting Goalie for Playoff Push

The move reflects Tristan Jarry’s post-injury slump alongside Connor Ingram’s steadier run.

Overview

  • Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Ingram will start Sunday against Nashville and serve as Edmonton’s No. 1 going forward.
  • Ingram has started four of the past five and seven of the past nine games, with the Oilers posting four wins and points in five of his last six starts.
