Edmonton Oilers Acquire Goalie Connor Ingram from Utah Mammoth Retaining $800K Salary

Connor Ingram, a 28-year-old goaltender, was traded from the Utah Mammoth to the Edmonton Oilers for future considerations, with Utah retaining $800,000 of his $1.95 million salary. Ingram, who began the 2024-25 season as Utah's starting goalie, had a challenging previous season marked by his mother's death from cancer and two entries into the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program addressing mental health issues. Despite these struggles, he won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 2024 for perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication. Ingram did not attend Utah's training camp this fall, and the team sought a new opportunity for him, placing him on waivers before the trade. He will report to the Oilers' AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, as he remains under contract for the final year of a three-year deal. Ingram has a career NHL record of 39-44-15 with a 3.14 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage over 102 games, including six shutouts in the 2023-24 season.
