Edmonton Oilers News

As he did during a stellar stretch of play in early December, Ingram has retaken the Coyotes' net and will start for the fourth time in the last five games on Thursday night. Ingram has allowed three or fewer goals in five of his last six appearances (3-1-1), including two shutouts, posting a terrific .927 SV%. That said, Ingram and the Coyotes face a difficult foe on Thursday and are +171 road underdogs against a Vancouver Canucks club that has points in their last six games (5-0-1).

Kapanen seemingly had no issue in the Blues' last game, playing 15:47 time-on-ice, above his season average, but has been placed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury and is expected to miss at least four weeks. Kapanen has struggled in his first full season with the Blues, scoring only 13 points (4G / 9A) in 42 games, his worst point-per-game pace (0.31) since his rookie season in 2017-18 with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ingram will start for the third time in the last four games for the Coyotes on Tuesday night in Calgary. Ingram is coming off a sensational 38-save shutout on Saturday in a 6-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild. His .915 SV% over his last eight appearances (4-2-0) would typically be a serviceable total but is indicative of his inconsistent play lately, given that he has three shutouts over that span. The Coyotes are +146 road underdogs against the Flames, who defeated them 6-2 less than a week ago, a game in which Ingram saved 16 of 18 shots (.889 SV%) after entering in relief.

Jarry was strong in a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, saving 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) and will return to the crease on Monday afternoon against the red-hot Seattle Kraken, who are riding a nine-game winning streak. Jarry has failed to record a victory in his last three straight, allowing three goals in each.

Emberson left Tuesday's game vs. Toronto after 21:49 due to an undisclosed injury and will now be out week-to-week as he recovers. The 23-year-old rookie has been one of few bright spots in San Jose this season, with his goal, six assists, 22 SOG, two PIMs and -2 plus/minus in 21 games prior to his injury.

Ingram will return to the crease on Saturday after entering Thursday's game, a 6-2 loss to the Calgary Flames, in relief of Karel Vejmelka. Ingram has fallen back to earth after his spectacular run at the beginning of December but is still sporting a respectable .909 SV% in his last four outings (2-1-0). Ingram will be facing off against a Minnesota Wild club playing the back end of a back-to-back and has only scored 12 total goals in their last seven games heading into Friday.

Pickard has settled nicely into his role as the Oilers' backup netminder and has been serviceable in limited action when called upon. The Oilers are riding an eight-game winning streak, with two wins courtesy of Pickard, in which he saved 51 of 56 shots (.911 SV%). The Oilers have an excellent opportunity to extend their winning streak to nine games as -160 road favourites on Thursday against a Detroit Red Wings club that is suddenly surging, winning four of their last five games (4-1-0).

Walman was battling an illness that prevented him from practicing on Wednesday but he will be ready to play on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. In his last five games, Walman has four points (1G / 3A) while averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time per night.

Arizona will continue to rotate their goalies as Connor Ingram retakes the crease Tuesday vs. Boston after backing up Karel Vejmelka last game. The 26-year-old has been the surprising standout of the two Coyotes' net-minders in his third NHL season, with a 13-8-0 record, 2.61 GAA, .915 SV% and a league leading four shutouts. He draws the Boston Bruins at home in the desert Tuesday, who are coming off a tough 4-3 shootout loss to Colorado Monday, but are still enjoying a relatively strong offensive season ranking 10th in the NHL in goals per game (3.37).

Ingram will return to the crease for the Coyotes on Thursday as their equal distribution goalie rotation is back in full effect. In his last outing, Ingram saved all 28 shots he faced for a 2-0 shutout victory over the Anaheim Ducks, his second shutout in four outings. Ingram and the Coyotes will be facing a tougher foe on Thursday when they welcome the New York Islanders, who have points in five of their last seven games (3-2-2). In his last 12 games (7-4-0), Ingram has four shutouts and a dazzling .928 SV%.
