Connor\u00a0Ingram will start in his first playoff game since May 9, 2022, when he was a member of the Nashville Predators, starting three games against the eventual Stanley Cup-winning Colorado Avalanche and finishing with a 3.64 GAA and .913 SV%.<\/p>\n
Ingram is 10-6-2 with a .901 save percentage since the Olympic break and has looked more comfortable behind an improved Edmonton defence that allowed only four goals in its last three regular-season games.<\/p>\n
“I think structurally we’ve been better, but I also think it’s just\u00a0in between your ears, the dedication, and knowing that if you can keep the goals against down, you’re going to have a great chance of winning games,” Hyman said. “So I think it’s a mental thing.\u00a0 Obviously, everybody knows what time of year it is, and there’s no better time to start doing it. So I think we’re prepared.<\/p>\n
“I think we know the recipe that we need out there to be successful, and we want some scoring as well. But I do think that for us, it starts on the defensive side.\u00a0 When we do get that part in, it’s usually a good thing.”<\/p>\n
With Monday’s practice being optional, tonight’s lines and defence pairings are based on Sunday’s full-team practice at Rogers Place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Connor\u00a0Ingram will start in his first playoff game since May 9, 2022, when he was a member of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-618373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
