Nashville, Tenn. (October 16, 2021) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today the team has recalled goaltender Connor Ingram from Milwaukee (AHL). Additionally, goaltender David Rittich has been added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.

Ingram, 24 (3/31/97), closed out 2020-21, his fourth professional season, by appearing in five games for Chicago (AHL), going 1-3-1, after beginning the campaign by dressing in nine contests for Björklöven of the Swedish second league. He recorded the best statistical season of his professional career with Milwaukee in 2019-20, going 21-5-5 with a 1.92 goals-against average and .933 save percentage en route to a spot on the AHL's Second All-Star Team and a nod to the 2020 AHL All-Star Classic. His 21 victories in two seasons ago were tied for the third-most in the AHL, and he shared the AHL's Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award, which is presented to the goaltender or goaltenders who allow the fewest goals per game in the regular season.
Originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the third round (88th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft, Ingram is 56-26-8 in 95 career AHL appearances since making his debut in 2017-18. A two-time AHL All-Star (2019, 2020) he's also posted 12 career AHL shutouts, two of which came with Milwaukee in 2019-20. Before turning pro, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound goaltender spent three seasons with the WHL's Kamloops Blazers from 2014-17 and was selected as the Blazers' MVP in his final two seasons with the team. The Imperial, Sask., native also represented Canada at the 2017 World Junior Championship, posting a 2-1 record and one shutout, helping lead his country to a silver medal.
