Savoie will make his Oilers' debut on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Savoie made his NHL debut last season, playing one game with the Buffalo Sabres, but has not played since. The 21-year-old forward has been impressive at the AHL level this season, scoring 37 points (13G / 24A) in 45 games with the Bakersfield Condors.

Savoie is expected to travel on Edmonton's upcoming 5-game road trip and make his Oilers debut.

Savoie was at Oilers' practice on Tuesday, and his call-up is expected to be made official before Saturday's game. The 21-year-old was acquired in the Ryan McLeod trade this summer and he is second on the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) in points this season with 13 goals and 24 assists (37 points) in 45 games.

Ingram (upper-body) is day-to-day and not expected to be available for Saturday's game in Los Angeles.

Ingram missed practice on Tuesday and was announced day-to-day due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old netminder has struggled greatly in 2024-25 after a strong starting campaign last season, with his 9-7-4 record, 3.23 GAA and .884 SV%. Jaxson Stauber was recalled from Tucson in Ingram's absence, but Karel Vejmelka is expected to get the bulk of Utah's starts regardless.

Skinner will start vs. Colorado on Friday.

The Oilers are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Skinner between the pipes on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. Skinner played well in his most recent outing, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. The 26-year-old netminder has a .918 SV% in his last 22 games (14-6-2). The Oilers enter Friday's contest as -175 home favorites against an Avalanche squad that played last night, defeating the Calgary Flames 4-2.

Ingram will start in Columbus on Thursday.

Utah HC is coming off a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers with Karel Vejmelka between the pipes, but they will switch to Ingram on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ingram was solid in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old Ingram has played well since returning from an injury despite an unfavorable 2-3-1 record, posting a .910 SV%. Utah enters the action on Thursday as -155 road underdogs against a Columbus team that could be without Zach Werenski (lower body) for a second straight game.

Pickard will start in Chicago on Wednesday.

Pickard will get the starting nod for the tail-end of Edmonton's back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday. Pickard was excellent in his last outing, stopping 26 of the 28 shots he faced in a 4-2 victory over the Kraken on January 27th. Pickard boasts an impressive 13-4-0 record and a .901 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -260 on the money line.
