Ingram (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Tucson on Thursday. Additionally, the netminder has been activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram hasn't played in an NHL game since Nov. 18 versus the Capitals, a stretch of 22 games without an appearance due to his upper-body issue. With Utah entering a back-to-back, Ingram figures to get the start against the Sharks or the Islanders on Friday or Saturday, respectively, with Karel Vejmelka featuring in the other contest.

Ingram (upper body) was sent to AHL Tucson on a conditioning loan Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram has missed the last 18 games after being placed on injured reserve Nov. 20. The 27-year-old is seemingly closing in on a return, as he'll work his way back to full strength at the AHL level. Karel Vejmelka will continue to operate as the team's No. 1 netminder in the interim.

Ingram (upper body) remains out indefinitely, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram resumed skating last weekend, but he will take a step back. He wasn't improving enough to make being on the ice worth it for his recovery. The 27-year-old netminder has already missed the last 12 games, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Karel Vejmelka has been occupying the No. 1 goalie role for Utah during Ingram's absence.

Ingram (upper body) is expected to return to the ice this week, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
However, it hasn't been decided if Ingram will accompany his teammates on Utah's upcoming two-game road trip. Even if he does travel, the 27-year-old netminder's return to the lineup probably isn't imminent. He will miss his 10th straight game versus Minnesota on Tuesday. Ingram has posted a 6-4-3 record with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage in 13 appearances this season. During Ingram's absence, Karel Vejmelka has performed well as Utah's No. 1 netminder.

Ingram (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram will miss his seventh straight game when Utah hosts Dallas on Monday. He has a 6-4-3 record with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Karel Vejmelka and Jaxson Stauber have performed well during Ingram's absence. Vejmelka and Ingram could compete for starts once the latter is ready to return.

Ingram (upper body) will not play Friday or Saturday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram has not played since Nov. 18 versus Washington, when he gave up four goals on 13 shots before he was pulled in the second period. Ingram is 6-4-3 with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage in what is a disappointing start to the season. Look for Karel Vejmelka and Jaxson Stauber to split the goaltending assignments this weekend with Ingram on the shelf.

Head coach Andre Tourigny said Thursday that he doesn't expect Ingram (upper body) to join the team during Utah's upcoming four-game road trip, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, so he had already been ruled out through Sunday's game in Toronto. However, he'll likely be sidelined for at least four games, so the earliest that he could be in the mix to return would be at home against the Oilers on Nov. 29. Karel Vejmelka will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road matchup against Boston and will likely operate as the No. 1 netminder in Ingram's absence, while Jaxson Stauber will be available as a backup.

Ingram (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram will now be out for at least three games due to the injury, including a back-to-back this weekend. Karel Vejmelka will take over as Utah's No. 1 goalie, and Jaxson Stauber could be in line for his first NHL action since the 2022-23 campaign during the team's four-game road trip.

Utah announced Wednesday that Ingram is dealing with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram started Monday's home game against the Capitals but was pulled in the second period after he allowed four goals on 13 shots en route to the loss. His injury may have contributed to his struggles and early removal from the game, and he's remained in Utah to be further evaluated while the team prepares for a four-game road trip that begins Thursday in Boston. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old will rejoin the team before the final game of the road trip, which will be in Montreal on Tuesday, but Karel Vejmelka will likely see increased playing time in Ingram's absence, while Jaxson Stauber was recalled from AHL Tucson on an emergency basis Wednesday.

Ingram stopped nine of 13 shots before being pulled in the second period during Monday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram was returning to the Utah crease after two games and had a woeful performance. He was lifted in the second period in place of Karel Vejmelka, who ended up allowing two more goals in the final frame. Ingram has posted a save percentage below .890 in each of his last four outings, so he's clearly trending in the wrong direction. Over that span, Ingram has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.80 GAA and an .843 save percentage after stopping just 70 of 83 shots.
