Connor Ingram played three straight for the Oilers, but after a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Saturday, the team will revert to Pickard on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 33-year-old Pickard has not played since allowing four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on December 20th. He has an ugly 3.93 and .861 SV% in 13 appearances this season (3-5-2).
Ingram stopped 18 of 19 shots in the Oilers' win over the Flames on Tuesday. Ingram has played well in his first two starts with the Oilers, going 2-0-0 while stopping 46 of the 50 shots (.920 SV%) that he's faced. He should have plenty of chances to rack up wins while serving as the Oilers go-to goalie, and makes for a solid spot-start in Calgary on Saturday.
Tomasek signed with the Oilers in the offseason after a lengthy career in Europe. He scored three goals with two assists (five points) in 22 games, but had been a healthy scratch for the last six games. He's expected to return to Farjestads BK Karlstad, where he led the team with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 47 games last season.
Trent Frederic will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames, sending Lazar back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old Lazar has two goals in 19 games this season.
Curtis Lazar will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames, resulting in Frederic returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old Frederic was scratched for the first time on Sunday after a poor start to the season, with only three points (2G / 1A) through 36 games.
It took an injury to the newly acquired Tristan Jarry for Ingram to be called up from Bakerfield (AHL), but he played well in his Oilers debut on Sunday, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The 28-year-old Ingram has a 3.13 GAA and .902 SV% in 103 career NHL games (40-44-15), but had an atrocious 4.04 GAA and .856 SV% in 11 games (4-5-2) with the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL this season. The Oilers enter Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames as -161 home favorites.
Just one week into his tenure with the Oilers, after being acquired in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jarry suffered a lower-body injury and will be out week-to-week. The Oilers will rely on Calvin Pickard and the recently recalled Connor Ingram in the interim.
Just one week after acquiring Jarry in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Oilers are already facing a scare in the crease after he left Thursday's 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins late in the second period. Jarry will miss at least one week after being placed on Injured Reserve, but the extent of his injury has not yet been revealed. The Oilers recalled Connor Ingram from Bakersfield (AHL) in a corresponding move, but Calvin Pickard will likely occupy the crease during Jarry's absence.
With Tristan Jarry (lower body) placed on Injured Reserve, Edmonton has recalled Ingram from Bakersfield (AHL). Unless Ingram establishes himself as a reliable option for Edmonton, expect Calvin Pickard to see the bulk of action during Jarry's absence. The 28-year-old Ingram has an ugly 4.04 GAA and .856 SV% in 11 games (4-5-2) this season in the AHL with Bakersfield.
