Down 2-1 in their best-of-seven series against the Anaheim Ducks, Oilers’ head coach Kris Knoblauch said they “haven’t decided” if Connor Ingram will start Game 4 on Sunday.
Ingram has started the first three games and allowed six goals on 38 shots in a 7-4 Game 2 loss to the Ducks on Friday.
The 29-year-old has a 4.70 goals against average and .849 save percentage over the three games.
“Today in the NHL, very rarely do you have one goalie play all the games in the playoffs,” Knoblauch said.
Mid-season trade acquisition Tristan Jarry reportedly occupied the starter’s net at Oilers practice Saturday.
Acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for previous No. 1 Stuart Skinner, Jarry had a 3.86 goals against average and .857 save percentage in 19 regular-season games with Edmonton.
“We got two good goalies that we feel confident they can both play, and going into the playoffs, we felt that … we’re going to have to make a switch at some time,” Knoblauch added.
Meanwhile, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl didn’t skate in Edmonton’s practice ahead of Game 4. Afterward, Knoblauch said they were having maintenance days.
