It’s been another roller coaster of a season between the pipes for the Edmonton Oilers, who parted ways with the starter of the last couple playoff runs, Stuart Skinner, in a trade that brought in Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Jarry, between his on-ice struggles and health issues, has not been the solution the Oilers were looking for, opening the door for Connor Ingram to take the job and run with it.

The Saskatoon native has done exactly that, posting a .899 save percentage across 32 appearances this season, good enough to earn him the net to start Edmonton’s first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks.

On Thursday’s episode of Daily Faceoff LIVE, host Tyler Yaremchuk and co-host and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton were joined by DFO Rundown host Jason Gregor whether or not Ingram can be the guy that gives Edmonton a stable, night-in, night-out goaltender that they’ve been missing in prior playoff runs.

Carter Hutton: For Connor Ingram, you know, that’s his first ever playoff win. He had played three games before for the Predators. What [are the] expectations for him in this situation? Like, is it his crease? Like, what if it goes south? Do they go to Jarry, or is it kind of, at this point, you kind of ride or die with him?

Jason Gregor: Oh, no, I don’t think Jarry’s in the conversation right now, if I’m being bluntly honest. This is Ingram’s team. I think he’s earned the trust of his team. Now, the Oilers, they’re not built to have Connor Ingram steal them game after game. Now he’s got to make some big saves, which he did in the third period. The save he made on Sennecke, although I asked him after he goes, “Well, I kind of just went across and he just shot it into me.” He always kind of downplays his timely saves. It’s pretty funny, but you watch the replay and I’m like, “Yeah, okay, I guess he’s right,” but it’s still a key save. And then they come back and tie it seconds later. And then the save on Carlsson when it’s 3-3, a two on one, that was a great touch pass by the Ducks. Like I’m telling you, man, like Ingram, I thought played very well.
