Connor Ingram News

Ingram will serve as the Predators' No.2 behind David Rittich with Juuse Saros out with a lower-body injury for at least the next two games. Ingram has gone 30-17-7 with a 2.70 GAA and .915 SV% in 54 AHL games this season.

David Rittich was added to the COVID-19 protocol list, so Ingram has been brought up to serve as Juuse Saros vs. Carolina.

Ingram was originally picked in the third-round in 2016 by the Lightning but was traded to the predators for a 2021 seventh-round pick last summer. The 22-year-old went 21-5-5 with a 1.92 GAA and .933 SV% in 33 AHL games this season and figures to be the future No.2 netminder behind Juuse Saros.

Ingram came up to serve as Juuse Saros' backup on Tuesday but heads back to Milwaukee with Pekka Rinne (illness) ready to dress on Thursday. Ingram is 18-5-5 with a 1.98 GAA and .931 SV% in 30 AHL games this season.

Ingram, who was selected in the third-round (No.88 overall) in 2016, split his 2018-19 season between the AHL and ECHL. The 22-year-old was 14-7-0 with a 2.26 GAA and .922 SV% with Syracuse (AHL) and 8-2-0 with a 2.81 GAA and .914 SV% with Orlando (ECHL). With Pekka Rinne entering his age-37 season, Ingram could serve as the Predators’ future No.2 behind Juuse Saros.

Ingram, 21, was a third-round pick in 2016 and has gone 7-3-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .918 SV% in 10 games with the Crunch. Ingram comes up so that he can backup Louis Domingue while Ed Pasquale heads back down to get some games in.
