On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> acquired goaltender Connor Ingram from the Utah Mammoth<\/a> for future considerations.<\/p>\n

The Oilers announced that Ingram will join the team\u2019s American Hockey League affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, immediately. The Mammoth is retaining $800,000 of Ingram\u2019s $1.95 million AAV. Therefore, Ingram\u2019s contract will not affect Edmonton\u2019s cap hit as long as he\u2019s in the minors.<\/p>\n

Ingram is eligible to head straight to the AHL since he cleared waivers<\/a> while with the Mammoth last week. It\u2019ll allow the 28-year-old the opportunity to find his game, having not played since last February. In March, he entered the NHL\/NHLPA Player Assistance Program<\/a> and was cleared to return to team activities late last month.<\/p>\n

Ingram will provide some assurance in the Oilers\u2019 system, given the uncertainty surrounding the tandem of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard. Having a goaltender with NHL experience in the wings could prove beneficial for the two-time defending Western Conference champions.<\/p>\n

With Ingram\u2019s 2024-25 season ending early, Ingram was limited to just 22 games with the team last year, posting a 9-8-4 record, with a 3.27 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage.\u00a0His performance dipped after what was an exceptional 2023-24 campaign with the then-Arizona Coyotes. The Saskatoon native delivered the best performance of his young career. In 50 games, Ingram went 23-21-3, with a 2.91 GAA, a .907 SV% and six shutouts, which was tied for the league lead.<\/p>\n

In 102 NHL appearances, Ingram has a record of 39-44-15, with a 3.14 GAA, a .902 SV% and seven shutouts. He also played four games for the Nashville Predators<\/a> in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, going 0-3 with a 3.64 GAA and .913 SV%.<\/p>\n

With Ingram heading down to the minors, he will likely play his first AHL games since January of last season, when he had a conditioning stint with Utah\u2019s top farm team, the Tucson Roadrunners. In 150 AHL appearances, he has a record of 87-43-15, with a 2.40 GAA, a .919 SV% and 17 shutouts. He also has a 2-6 record in the Calder Cup Playoffs, with a 4.15 GAA and a .875 SV%.<\/p>\n
