Ingram, 27, has been sidelined for the past 18 games with an upper-body injury and was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 20. He is set to join the Roadrunners to gain game action as part of his recovery process. This season, the 6-foot-1, 218-pound netminder has appeared in 13 games with the Utah Hockey Club, posting a 6-4-3 record, a 3.61 goals-against average (GAA), and a .871 save percentage (SV%).

A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Ingram experienced a breakout season in 2023-24 with the Arizona Coyotes, setting career highs in nearly every category. He appeared in 50 games, starting 48 of them, and compiled a 23-21-3 record. His season included a 2.91 GAA, a .907 SV%, and a league-leading six shutouts.

Ingram received multiple honors during the 2023-24 campaign, including being named the NHL’s First Star of the Week on December 4, 2023, after leading the Coyotes on a historic five-game winning streak against the previous five Stanley Cup champions. Additionally, he was awarded the NHL’s Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which honors the player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
