There’s been a shake-up in net ahead of a crucial game for the Edmonton Oilers.

Ahead of Game 4 of the Pacific Division Semifinals against the Anaheim Ducks, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that goaltender Tristan Jarry will be replacing Connor Ingram as the team’s starter. Forward Jason Dickinson is set to return to the lineup after missing the past two contests.

Ingram has started each of the first three games of the series, but since helping the Oilers win the first game of the series, the 29-year-old has struggled in the previous two contests. He allowed five goals in a 6-4 loss in Game 2, before giving up another six on Friday night in a 7-4 defeat.

Ingram’s two recent performances made people wonder if it was worth giving Jarry a shot, despite the fellow veteran struggling down the stretch in the regular season. However, with Edmonton reeling and down 2-1 in the series, desperate times call for desperate measures.

On Saturday, Knoblauch spoke to the media, explaining how using two goaltenders in the postseason isn’t uncommon in the game today.

“Today in the NHL, very rarely do you have one goalie play all the games in the playoffs,” Knoblauch said. “20 years ago and before that, it was unheard of to be swapping goalies, but we got two good goalies that we feel confident that they can both play. Going into the playoffs, we felt that there was going to be a time when we’re going to have to make a switch. So whether that’s for game four or game five, whatever it is, we have confidence in both.”

Jarry was the big acquisition by general manager Stan Bowman this year, as the Oilers elected to move on from Stuart Skinner. However, the former Pittsburgh Penguin struggled in his new digs, posting a record of 9-6-2 in 19 games, posting a 3.86 goals-against average, an .858 save percentage, and one shutout. He gave up at least four goals in seven of his final 10 starts of the regular season.

Dickinson missed Games 2 and 3 against the Ducks for an undisclosed reason. His absence was felt, as his defensive prowess left a notable gap in Edmonton’s lineup. The 30-year-old scored twice in the Oilers’ Game 1 victory last week.
