Edmonton Oilers News

Utah HC is coming off a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers with Karel Vejmelka between the pipes, but they will switch to Ingram on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ingram was solid in his most recent outing, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old Ingram has played well since returning from an injury despite an unfavorable 2-3-1 record, posting a .910 SV%. Utah enters the action on Thursday as -155 road underdogs against a Columbus team that could be without Zach Werenski (lower body) for a second straight game.

Philp will be the odd-man out when the Oilers travel to Chicago on Wednesday. He'll sit in order to make room for the return of Adam Henrique (undisclosed).

Henrique will slot back into the lineup after missing Tuesday's game in St. Louis. Noah Philp will sit in his place.

Pickard will get the starting nod for the tail-end of Edmonton's back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday. Pickard was excellent in his last outing, stopping 26 of the 28 shots he faced in a 4-2 victory over the Kraken on January 27th. Pickard boasts an impressive 13-4-0 record and a .901 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -260 on the money line.

Philp will slot in for Adam Henrique, who was a late scratch on Tuesday. Philp has zero goals and two assists in 11 games this season.

Henrique was a late scratch on Tuesday, with the Oilers not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Noah Philp will draw into the lineup in his place.

Ekholm did not play in Edmonton's previous game but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 34-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in his last four games.

Stillman has been back and forth between the NHL and AHL all season but has only snuck into the Hurricanes roster once this season. The 26-year-old defenseman has five points (2G / 3A) in 15 games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season.

Tomkins was recalled to serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup on Thursday because Jonas Johansson (undisclosed) is day-to-day. Yesterday's demotion was just a paper move, expect him to serve as Vasilevskiy's backup on Saturday.

Tomkins served as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup on Thursday due to Jonas Johansson (lower body) being out with an injury. The 30-year-old Tomkins has a 2.87 GAA and .900 SV% in 17 games (6-8-3) with Syracuse this season.

Ekholm has not practiced the past several days due to an illness but was able to play in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Assuming this is the same illness he has battled earlier this week, he will likely play on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 34-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in his last four games.

Stillman played a game for the Hurricanes earlier this season, his first NHL action since the 2022-23 season. He has five points (2G / 3A) in 15 games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season. Ryan Suzuki was assigned to the Chicago Wolves (AHL) in a corresponding move.
