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.

In his last 12 games (7-4-0), Ingram has four shutouts and a dazzling .928 SV%.

Karel Vejmelka was between the pipes for the Coyotes on Wednesday in their 5-4 overtime win over the Avalanche, but the team will shift back to their early-season strategy of alternating starts and turn to Ingram on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. Ingram has lost the magic he had in late November, dropping four of his last five games (1-4-0), posting a subpar .873 SV%. That said, Ingram and the Coyotes will have a favourable matchup against a Ducks team that ranks fourth worst in the league offensively (2.65 GF / GP) despite defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 in their last game.
