Oilers Place Tristan Jarry on IR, Add Goalie

The Edmonton Oilers announced a series of roster moves, headlined by the placement of goaltender Tristan Jarry on injured reserve. The team also moved forward Jack Roslovic to long-term injured reserve and recalled goaltender Connor Ingram from the Bakersfield Condors.

The moves come after Jarry had to leave the game against the Boston Bruins on December 18 with an injury. What makes this worse, however, is the fact that the Oilers had just acquired him from the Pittsburgh Penguins last week, on December 12. But his injury has now left a massive hole in Edmonton’s goaltending depth.

Ingram Gets the Call

While Jarry remains on the shelf, former Utah goalie Connor Ingram got the chance to make his return to the NHL after spending the last few months with the Condors. After waiving him from the Mammoth, the Oilers had put Ingram with the AHL affiliate.

Now, with the franchise desperately needing someone to fill the 1B spot behind Calvin Pickard, the 28-year-old gets the chance to have a new start. With former NHL experience, he will provide the Oilers with depth while Jarry is sidelined.

Ingram's recall gives Edmonton two healthy goaltenders on the roster, but the question now is whether that's enough or if general manager Stan Bowman will need to explore adding another netminder through trade.

Trade Market Looming

Elliotte Friedman recently mentioned on the 32 Thoughts Podcast that he wouldn't be surprised if the Oilers reach out to the Buffalo Sabres about acquiring Alex Lyon. The Oilers have already done extensive research on Lyon and called the Sabres multiple times in recent weeks.
