\u201cIt\u2019s going really well. When you\u2019re on a 5-game winning streak, goaltending obviously has a lot to do with that,\u201d Knoblauch said. \u201cAlways, when you\u2019re having successful years, goaltending is a big part.<\/p>\n
\u201cTristan Jarry got off to a great start with us. Had an injury, kinda had a little setback. Took a while to get his game back, but his last two starts have been fantastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cConnor Ingram was brought in as a depth goalie, and now he\u2019s taken over the role as our starting goalie right now. So right now, we\u2019re very happy with our situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the playoffs nearing, Knoblauch\u2019s comments could signal that he’d prioritize current form over prior roles and expectations. That said, it sounded like the door is open for the Oilers to deploy a rotation or simply delay their decision until the final minute.<\/p>\n
Jarry has posted an 18-9-2 record this season, averaging 3.26 goals-against per game and earning a .884 save percentage. Ingram, meanwhile, has a 14-8-2 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .898 SV%.<\/p>\n
