Ingram's Birthday Shutout Boosts Oilers

Connor Ingram turned 29 on Tuesday and celebrated by blanking the Seattle Kraken 3-0, making

27 saves for his second.

Shut out this season.

The Edmonton Oilers grabbed the win to push their streak to 4-game straight, with goals

from Max Jones, Caspari Capain and Connor McDavid.

Ingram's the first Oilers goalie ever to post a shutout on his birthday, and the sixth

in team history with multiples in his debut year here.

Taked up from Utah back on October 1st, he was supposed to be back up insurance, but stepped

up as starter, now sitting at a 14-8-2 record.

The team praised Ingram for covering their mistakes, while crediting the defense in front

of him.

They've tightened up lately, especially without star Leon Drazital for the rest of the

regular season, due to a lower body injury, simplifying there.

Game to rack up six wins in their last eight.

McDavid stretched his goal streak to five games, and leaves the league with 32 goals, since

December 1st, closing in on all-time greats for.

Points before age 30.

Edmonton sits two points behind Pacific Leader Anaheim, and three up on Vegas in third.

Meanwhile, the Kraken drops six of their last seven, and cling to wild card hopes.

Two points out.

Both squads are grinding toward playoffs, building habits that could carry them deep.
