The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> received a major boost as goalie Connor Ingram delivered a historic performance in a 3-0 NHL<\/a> win over the Seattle Kraken<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ingram stopped all 27 shots he faced, securing his second shutout of the season and marking a memorable night on his 29th birthday. The victory extended Edmonton\u2019s winning streak to 4 games and strengthened its position in the playoff race.<\/p>\n

The performance also placed Ingram in the Oilers\u2019 record books. He became the first goaltender in franchise history to record a shutout on his birthday.<\/p>\n

Ingram also joined a select group as the sixth goalie in team history to post multiple shutouts in his first season with the club. Names on that list include Cam Talbot and Mikko Koskinen.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full list of Oilers\u2019 goalies with multiple shutouts:<\/p>\n

Mikko Koskinen \u2013 4 shutouts (2018-19)<\/p>\n

Mathieu Garon \u2013 4 (2007-08)<\/p>\n

Cam Talbot \u2013 3 (2015-16)<\/p>\n

Mikhail Shtalenkov \u2013 3 (1998-99)<\/p>\n

Jussi Markkanen \u2013 2 (2001-02)<\/p>\n

Connor Ingram \u2013 2 (2025-26)<\/p>\n

Ingram has been in strong form recently. He has now won three straight games, allowing just five goals on 89 shots during that stretch. His steady play has helped ease pressure on Edmonton\u2019s defense, which has struggled at times this season.<\/p>\n

Offensively, the Oilers did enough to support their goaltender. Connor McDavid<\/a> extended his goal streak, while Max Jones and Kasperi Kapanen also found the net. Edmonton continues to rely on its high-powered attack, led by McDavid\u2019s league-leading production.<\/p>\n

Connor Ingram\u2019s performance this NHL season\"\"<\/p>\n

This season, Ingram holds a 14-8-2 record with a 2.69 goals-against average. His recent performances have already secured him a larger role (being the Oilers\u2019 starting goalie) in the crease moving forward.<\/p>\n

For Edmonton, consistency remains most essential. The team has shown strong offensive numbers but continues to work on defensive stability.<\/p>\n

If Ingram maintains this level, the Oilers could become a more balanced contender. His emergence may prove vital as the team pushes toward the postseason and looks to build momentum at the right time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Edmonton Oilers received a major boost as goalie Connor Ingram delivered a historic performance in a 3-0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377],"tags":[6675,2663,155,146,5,4812,11128,6677,234,4991,6769],"class_list":{"0":"post-535494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hockey","8":"tag-cam-talbot","9":"tag-connor-ingram","10":"tag-connor-mcdavid","11":"tag-edmonton-oilers","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-kasperi-kapanen","14":"tag-max-jones","15":"tag-mikko-koskinen","16":"tag-seattle-kraken","17":"tag-the-oilers","18":"tag-tristan-jarry"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116331787369388354","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
