Connor Ingram Clears Waivers as Utah Assigns Goalie to AHL Tucson

Utah had signaled a fresh start for the netminder following his return from the NHL/NHLPA assistance program.

Overview

  • Ingram passed through Friday’s claim window and will report to the Tucson Roadrunners, Utah’s AHL affiliate.
  • He was waived Thursday in the first wave of roster cuts, and none of that group was claimed before the deadline.
  • The 28-year-old is in the final year of a three-year contract with a $1.95 million cap hit, a consideration in whether teams would submit a claim.
  • Fan and media chatter in markets such as Edmonton urged a claim, reflecting belief in his upside despite recent results.
  • His recent arc features a 2023–24 breakout with six shutouts and a Masterton Trophy, followed by a 2024–25 dip (3.27 GAA, .882 SV%) and a March entry into the assistance program before his Aug. 20 clearance.
