The Arizona Coyotes announced they will be running back their goaltending tandem, as they re-signed Connor Ingram to a three-year contract extension on Sunday.
PHNX’s Craig Morgan first reported the deal, while Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman tweeted the terms will be $1.95 million per year.
“We are very pleased to sign Connor to an extension,” general manager Bill Armstrong said in a press release.
“Connor is a good young goaltender who played well for us last season. He and Karel Vejmelka provided us with a strong goaltending tandem. We look forward to having him back between the pipes.”
Ingram entered the offseason as a restricted free agent and will reunite with fellow Coyotes goalie Karel Vejmelka, who is signed through 2024-25.
Ingram started 26 games for Arizona this past season after the Coyotes claimed him off waivers from the Nashville Predators on Oct. 10.
Vejmelka started 49 games and 24-year-old Ivan Prosvetov played in seven contests.

The Coyotes traded for 24-year-old defensemen Sean Durzi from the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday and re-signed forward Michael Carcone this past Wednesday.
