The main concern of the Edmonton Oilers is the state of their goaltending, especially after their mid-season trade of Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Tristan Jarry didn’t deliver the kind of results that general manager Stan Bowman was expecting.

Jarry and the Oilers were eliminated in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the divisional rival Anaheim Ducks, though Jarry only played in one game of the series after being outplayed down the stretch by Connor Ingram, whom the club signed during last offseason.

And while there remain plenty of questions about Edmonton’s goaltending going into the critical two-year window that Connor McDavid remains under contract, Bowman has announced a contract extension for one of his club’s goaltenders.

The Edmonton Oilers Have Re-Signed Goaltender Connor Ungar To A One-Year Extension

The Oilers have announced a one-year, two-way contract extension for depth goaltender Connor Ungar with a salary cap hit of $850,000 at the NHL level.

Ungar got plenty of work in the Oilers organization, with whom he signed as an undrafted free agent out of Brock University in 2024. He split time in 2025-26 between three ECHL clubs along with the Bakersfield Condors, Edmonton’s American Hockey League affiliate.

This season with the Condors, Ungar went 9-2-2 record with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.
