New Edmonton Oilers goalie Tristan Jarry's injury thrusts Connor Ingram into an audition for Edmonton's backup netminder role.

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled goaltender Connor Ingram, a move driven more by necessity than comfort as the team navigates a setback they hoped wouldn’t be an early concern.
