Whatever happens in these NHL playoffs, Oilers goalie Connor Ingram won't be shaken

EDMONTON — A few minutes after his Edmonton Oilers closed the book on a 4-3, playoff-opening win over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night, Connor Ingram, the most unlikely starting goaltender in the Stanley Cup playoffs, had to admit the truth.This wasn’t a late-April game against the Vancouver Canucks. It wasn’t front of 5,851 people in Bakersfield, Calif., or at a glorified college rink in Tempe, Ariz. Ingram had just played 60 minutes of high-stakes hockey, in front of a sold-out, tooth-rattling sea of orange, and he’d done it well, with 25 saves on 28 shots.Advertisement
