Connor Ingram will start Tuesday vs. Ottawa.

After two poor outings, Ingram has sported consecutive strong starts and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. In his last two games (1-1-0), Ingram has saved 60 of 63 shots (.952 SV%), including his league-leading third shutout of this season. The Coyotes have a favourable matchup on Tuesday against a Senators team searching for their first win in four games and is playing their first game after firing head coach D.J. Smith.

Ingram will start Friday vs. the Sharks.

Ingram has started eight of the last nine games for the Coyotes and will start again on Friday against the San Jose Sharks. The Coyotes have lost four straight but are sizeable -184 home favourites against a Sharks team that has won three of their last four games (3-1-0). After an otherworldly stretch in late November, Ingram has allowed 12 goals on 96 shots (.878 SV%) during his current three-game skid. That said, he was terrific in a losing effort on Tuesday, saving 40 of 43 shots (.930 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Oilers will look for their ninth straight win as sizeable -173 home favourites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has lost two of their last three (1-2-0), being outscored 12-6, and will be without Victor Hedman for a second straight game.

After an incredible five-game stretch (5-0-0) that included two shutouts and a marvellous .968 SV%, Ingram has dropped two straight contests, allowing nine goals on 55 shots (.836 SV%). Ingram has been resilient all season and will look to rebound despite the Coyotes being +173 road underdogs against a Penguins team that has struggled to score goals, losing four straight contests (0-2-2).

Connor Ingram will start Thursday vs. Philadelphia.

Ingram has taken over the Coyotes net, rightfully so, and will start his sixth straight game. Ingram has been the backbone for the Coyotes during their five-game winning streak, in which he has two shutouts, and they have outscored the opposition 19-5. Ingram has been amongst the league's best and most consistent netminders this season, boasting a 2.23 GAA and .930 SV% through 15 games (11-3-0). The Coyotes are slight -102 home underdogs but mustn't be overlooked as they enter their matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers playing their most complete hockey this season.

Skinner will start against the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Skinner will make his sixth straight start as he goes for his fifth consecutive win Wednesday as he takes on Carolina at home. The 25-year-old has improved his play of late but still has some ugly season totals with his 8-7-1 record, 3.16 GAA and .881 SV%. He will host the Carolina Hurricanes, who have lost two of their last three games but lead the NHL in shots on goal per game (34.5).

Connor Ingram will make his fifth straight start Monday vs. Washington.

After evenly alternating starts with Karel Vejmelka for the first six weeks of the season, Ingram has settled in as the undisputed favourite between the pipes for the Coyotes, deservedly starting for the fifth straight game on Monday against the Washington Capitals. Ingram has been sensational this season, boasting a 2.40 GAA and .925 SV% in 14 games (10-3-0), and seems to be getting stronger as the season progresses, allowing only five goals in his last four games (4-0-0), posting a gaudy .961 SV%. Ingram looks poised for another strong performance on Monday as the Coyotes are -126 home favourites against a Capitals team that has scored more than two goals only once in their last five games (2-3-0).
