Oilers Turn to Jarry, Seek Playoff Spot

The Edmonton Oilers are switching back to Goldtender Tristan Jerry to stabilize their net

minding after a rough patch.

Coach Chris Nobelouch plans to start him in one of their next two road games, either

Tuesday in Utah or Thursday in Las Vegas.

Connor Ingram struggled lately, going two wins and three losses over five games while

giving up 15 goals.

Jerry has also faced challenges, with just one win in his last five outings and 22 goals

allowed, including seven in a recent seven to two loss.

Coming off a lower body injury that kept him out for almost a month, Jerry is working

to regain his early form with the team after a December trade from Pittsburgh.

The Oilers hoped for more consistency since his return.

In the Type Pacific Division playoff race, Edmonton sits third, one point behind Vegas

and five back of Anaheim, with eleven games left.

They're already missing Leon Dryzidle for the rest of the regular season.

Connor McDavid made a short appearance at Monday's practice for maintenance, but said everything

is fine.

The team stays focused on finding ways to climb the standings and secure a spot.
