Oilers' Goalie Shuffle: Stabilizing or Creating Chaos?

Edmonton Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman shook things up in net earlier this season,

saying the team needed something different after years of.

In consistency.

Now with the regular season winding down, backup goalie Connor Ingram has emerged as their

steadyest option.

He started as the number 3 guy, even spent time in the minors, but his recent starts have

kept the team in the playoff race.

Meanwhile, Stewart Skinner and Calvin Pickard are out of the picture, leaving a void that

a new goalie coach is trying to fill.

Observer's wonder if giving Ingram more ice time sooner, may be paired with Skinner, could

have stabilized things earlier.

Golees can be unpredictable, turning from afterthoughts into saviors overnight.

Fans and insiders are debating if Bowman's changes, fix the problems or just create

a new one.

Stewart suggests some tensions and practices with the new setup, unlike the smoother

buy before.

In a high-pressure market like Edmonton, even small drama feels big, especially with

stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Dries Idol, carrying the load.

The coaching staff has seen a facelift too, with Glenn Goulison moving to Dallas and new

assistance joining, including a vague assistant to the staff.

Roll

Some worry the roster has lost its grit, without players like Corey Perry and Evander

Kane, putting more strain on the core talent.

Lately, the Oilers are rolling on the road, beating Vegas, 4-2 on Sunday, and Colorado

4-3 on Tuesday.

They face Goulison's star tonight in another big test.

If they keep this up, Bowman's gamble might just pay off.
