After struggling with the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, Connor Ingram was called up to the Edmonton Oilers due to goaltending issues and an injury to Tristan Jarry. He recorded a 16-10-3 record in the NHL, eventually becoming the team’s starter for the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. Following the injury of Elvis Merzļikins on the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ingram may have a chance to secure a backup role, though his contract offer is likely to be minimal due to salary cap constraints. Overall, Ingram’s future remains uncertain as he navigates limited opportunities in the league.
