Oilers target another big move between the pipes!

The Edmonton Oilers may be preparing for another major shake-up between the pipes. As Pierre LeBrun recently noted on the Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro:

“At some point I think Connor Ingram becomes part of things for the Oilers, so they could have a brand new duo in goal in Edmonton by year’s end.”

Acquired by Edmonton at the beginning of October, Ingram’s NHL journey has been far from smooth. He missed part of the 2024–25 campaign due to personal matters and experienced the tragic loss of his mother to breast cancer, but has been cleared to return to full on-ice activity. His recent struggles in Arizona, including a 3.27 goals-against average and .882 save percentage over just 22 games, mark a low point in what has otherwise been a promising career.

The Oilers already acquired Tristan Jarry in a multi-piece trade that sent Stuart Skinner to Pittsburgh, and this chatter of another possible trade is leaving Calvin Pickard’s future uncertain.

Could Ingram’s arrival signal the next big shakeup in Edmonton’s crease? For a player who has openly shared his personal and professional challenges, a fresh start in Edmonton could be exactly what he needs and fans could soon see a completely new look in goal.

Edmonton’s goaltending situation is entering a period of flux, and Ingram could be at the center of it. After recent hardships, this might be his chance to reclaim his career and solidify the Oilers’ net for years to come, while giving fans a reason to watch a new duo take shape.

Is this something you would want to see in between the pipes in Edmonton?
