GOAL AGAINST AVERAGE/SAVE PERCENTAGE: CONOR INGRAM Image [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjAyNzQ3NTIwNzI2NjA2ODYw/usatsi_21990669.jpg] Conor Ingram edges out Karel Vejmelka in both goals against average and save percentage. He has a 2.49 GAA and .919 save percentage. While both goaltenders have been playing at a high level recently, Ingram’s hot stretch at the end of November and beginning of December where he won five straight games, has propelled him to lead in the majority of statistical categories over Vejmelka. Connor Ingram spoke following the Coyotes 2-0 victory over the Golden Knights. However, since Vejmelka has found his game, André Tourigny continues to rotate the two goalies equally which serves as an effective strategy.
