Edmonton Oilers News

Ingram is in the starter's crease at Edmonton's morning skate.

After playing three straight for the Oilers, Ingram had the night off in their most recent game, but returns to the crease on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. The 28-year-old Ingram suffered his first loss of the season in his previous outing, allowing three goals on 32 shots (.906 SV%) in a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames, but has been solid in his limited action, posting a 2.35 GAA and .915 SV% in three games (2-1-0). The Oilers enter Wednesday's contest as -188 home favorites against a Bruins team with just three wins in their last 10 games (3-5-2).

Connor Ingram
Pickard will start vs. Winnipeg on Monday.

Connor Ingram played three straight for the Oilers, but after a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Saturday, the team will revert to Pickard on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 33-year-old Pickard has not played since allowing four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on December 20th. He has an ugly 3.93 and .861 SV% in 13 appearances this season (3-5-2).

Calvin Pickard
Ingram will start on Saturday in Calgary.

Ingram stopped 18 of 19 shots in the Oilers' win over the Flames on Tuesday. Ingram has played well in his first two starts with the Oilers, going 2-0-0 while stopping 46 of the 50 shots (.920 SV%) that he's faced. He should have plenty of chances to rack up wins while serving as the Oilers go-to goalie, and makes for a solid spot-start in Calgary on Saturday.

The Oilers will be placing David Tomasek on waivers on Sunday for the purpose of contract termination.

Tomasek signed with the Oilers in the offseason after a lengthy career in Europe. He scored three goals with two assists (five points) in 22 games, but had been a healthy scratch for the last six games. He's expected to return to Farjestads BK Karlstad, where he led the team with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 47 games last season.

Frederic will draw back into Edmonton's lineup vs. Calgary on Tuesday.

Curtis Lazar will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames, resulting in Frederic returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old Frederic was scratched for the first time on Sunday after a poor start to the season, with only three points (2G / 1A) through 36 games.

Trent Frederic
Ingram will start vs. Calgary on Tuesday.

It took an injury to the newly acquired Tristan Jarry for Ingram to be called up from Bakerfield (AHL), but he played well in his Oilers debut on Sunday, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The 28-year-old Ingram has a 3.13 GAA and .902 SV% in 103 career NHL games (40-44-15), but had an atrocious 4.04 GAA and .856 SV% in 11 games (4-5-2) with the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL this season. The Oilers enter Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames as -161 home favorites.

Connor Ingram
Jarry will miss at least a few weeks with a lower-body injury.

Just one week into his tenure with the Oilers, after being acquired in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jarry suffered a lower-body injury and will be out week-to-week. The Oilers will rely on Calvin Pickard and the recently recalled Connor Ingram in the interim.
