On yesterday's episode of The Jason Gregor Show, Kevin Woodley talked about the complete and recent turnaround in Edmonton's goal.
Oilers' call-up goalie stabilizes net
Connor Ingram right now - I ran some numbers since the trade, he is 4th in the entire NHL in adjusted save percentage. He isn't just playing really well by Oilers standards.
Calvin Pickard's numbers have been really good ever since the trade as well. They've gone from not being able to figure out one goalie, to having 3 good options right now.

if you've been following the Oilers this year, you'll know just how eventful the goal position has been this year, from sub-standard to start the season, to now having three netminders playing at the top of their game.
Since being called from the Condors following Stuart Skinner's exit from Edmonton, Connor Ingram has been nothing short of elite, considering all the questions that came with his promotion.
In his nine starts, Ingram is 5-3-1 with a .917 SV% and 2.22 GAA. For a team that has struggled with a sub-900 SV%, you can see why fans are encouraged.
His confidence at the moment is growing, and with a Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx) listed at 4.65 (as per NHL.com) it's easy to see why.
Calvin Pickard has also stabilized his game recently with a 2.40 GAA over his last five games, according to NHL.com.
Now Stan Bowman must decide what to do with his three goalies, specifically who of Pickard and Ingram is moved from the Oilers' roster, with the former being the likely candidate.
