NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that the Edmonton Oilers are not pursuing goaltending ahead of the trade deadline, focusing instead on acquiring a right-side defenseman and a third-line center. Despite concerns over their goaltending duo of Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram, the team is prioritizing other needs, with potential trade targets like Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Ryan O’Reilly. To facilitate these moves, the Oilers may need to trade Andrew Mangiapane and place Mattias Janmark on LTIR. The goaltending situation remains uncertain, as neither Jarry nor Ingram has consistently performed well enough to solidify their roles.
