Edmonton Oilers Sign Free Agent Goaltender To Two-Year Contract

The Edmonton Oilers have had problems in goal this season. Today the organization made a move to bolster their depth at the position.

Oilers Sign Undrafted Goaltender Prospect To Entry-Level Contract

The team announced on X that they have signed goalie Connor Ungar to a standard two-year entry-level contract.





The Calgary Native spent his draft eligible seasons playing in the WHL with multiple teams but he never earned a proper starter's role, despite putting up good numbers. He spent the last season playing university hockey with Brock University in the Usports league. He put up a 20-6-0 record along with a 2.15 goals-against-average and a .932 save percentage. He also played in six playoff games, posting a 3-3 record along with a .928 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against-average.



The 22-year-old is still far from ready to play in the NHL, but his development has been encouraging enough that he could fill a role as a backup in the world's best league at some point.

As seen on Oilers officially add a new goalie on Monday morning
