Oilers’ Tristan Jarry out a couple weeks with lower-body injury, coach says

The Edmonton Oilers seem to have avoided the worst when it comes to their new No. 1 goalie.

Tristan Jarry is set to be sidelined for a couple weeks with a lower-body injury, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters on Sunday ahead of their game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Oilers placed Jarry on the injured reserve on Friday and recalled goaltender Connor Ingram — who will start against Vegas — from AHL Bakersfield in a corresponding move

Jarry left Thursday’s game against the Boston Bruins midway through the second period and was replaced by Calvin Pickard. The injury occurred when Jarry tried to push his leg across the crease and came up slowly after the move.

Thursday’s contest was Jarry’s third appearance with the Oilers since the team acquired the 30-year-old from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Stuart Skinner.

Jarry entered the contest with a .905 save percentage and 2.77 GAA through 16 games split between the two teams this season.
