Connor Ingram

Edmonton Oilers Goaltender

An .8817 in 22 games, and a goaltender whose season was interrupted by something more important than hockey.

This Season So Far

The 2025-26 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.

Last Season

9-8-4 in 22 games, .8817 with a 3.27 average on 558 shots with Utah, in a season he stepped away from in March to enter the player assistance programme.

The number is poor and it is not the story. He had stopped .907 with 6 shutouts the season before.

The Physical Game

6-1 and 218, and the game is athletic and aggressive — he challenges hard, cuts down angles, and relies on getting to the puck rather than on covering the net.

The rebound control is the weakness and the lateral recovery is ordinary, which is a difficult combination behind a club that gives up second chances. At his best he is a genuinely capable NHL starter for stretches.

The Mental Game

He has been open about obsessive-compulsive disorder throughout his career and stepped away twice to address it, most recently in March.

That is a health matter and not a character one, and it should be read as such. What it means for a projection is that the club cannot plan on a fixed number of starts, which is precisely the risk a third goaltender is supposed to absorb rather than create.

The Intangibles

A third-round pick, three organisations, and a career that has included a 6-shutout season and two interruptions.

Edmonton signed him as insurance behind a crease that has cost it two finals. At the price it is a reasonable bet with an obvious ceiling and an obvious floor.
