Goaltending help is on the way for the Edmonton Oilers organization.

The Oilers acquired goaltender Connor Ingram from the Utah Mammoth for future considerations Wednesday. The 28-year-old will report to their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, to team with newly signed veteran Matt Tomkins. Utah will also hold on to $800,000 of the $1.95 million average annual value on Ingram’s contract.

Edmonton, the Stanley Cup finalist the past two seasons, is returning with a Stuart Skinner-Calvin Pickard tandem. Both goaltenders are Bakersfield alumni as well.

Ingram was limited to 22 NHL games with Utah last season, plus one more in the AHL with the Tucson Roadrunners. He entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program last March and was cleared to resume play August 20. Utah placed him on waivers Sept. 17. However, he had a career season with the Arizona Coyotes in 2023-24 in which he played 50 games and went 23-21-3 | 2.91 | .907. He also won the Masterton Trophy as the NHL player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”

Ingram was selected in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning and spent parts of his first two pro seasons with the Syracuse Crunch before moving to the Nashville Predators organization. He has played 102 career NHL games with Nashville, Arizona, and Utah along with 150 AHL appearances for Syracuse, the Milwaukee Admirals, Chicago Wolves, and Tucson.

Edmonton general manager and executive vice president of hockey operations Stan Bowman outlined the organization’s thinking on Ingram to the team website shortly after the deal.

“The plan for him is to go to Bakersfield,” Bowman told the website. “He hasn’t been in training camp, so we need to get him going and up to speed…The way we look at it is this is a great depth option for us, and I think whether it's injuries or the play of our team, it's nice to know that we have someone in our organization that's had some recent success in the NHL.”

Bakersfield missed the Calder Cup Playoffs last season with a 32-30-7-3 record that left them eighth in the Pacific Division, and the lower half of Edmonton’s organizational goaltending depth chart underwent significant change this past summer. Olivier Rodrigue wrapped up a five-season run in the Edmonton organization spent mainly with Bakersfield and elected to go overseas. Collin Delia, who teamed with Rodrigue last season for the Condors, departed for Brynäs of the Swedish Hockey League as well. Tomkins, 31, finished 12-10-4 | 2.55 | .907 in 26 games last season for Syracuse in a tandem with Brandon Halverson. Edmonton signed him to a two-year contract on the first day of free agency this past July.

The Condors open their preseason schedule Saturday afternoon at home against the San Jose Barracuda before completing the teams’ home-and-home series the following day. Their regular-season opener is Saturday, Oct. 11 at San Jose.
