The Oilers confirmed the deal in a statement just minutes later. They wrote [https://x.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1973406347887779961]: The Oilers have acquired Connor Ingram from the Utah Mammoth in exchange for future considerations.

Ingram will start at AHL Bakersfield, at a number that does not affect the Oilers’ cap." Ingram entered the NHL’s Player Assistance program last season after his mother’s death and prior OCD-related issues but has since returned. Signed through this season, he could compete for Edmonton’s backup goalie role, getting a call-up if either of the Oilers two main roster goalies struggle.
