The Utah Hockey Club began a seven-game homestand last week by winning just one of three games. But they still have four games left at the Delta Center beginning Tuesday night against Montreal. Despite a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday,

Utah Hockey Club netminder Connor Ingram has been out of the lineup since mid-November with what the team reported as an upper-body injury. It turns out there was more to the almost two-month absence.

Connor Ingram has returned after rehabilitating an upper-body injury and spending time with his mother before her death in December.

The Saskatoon native held Utah in the game Saturday through a sluggish first period. Ingram was strong and steady as the Islanders unleashed 14 shots on goal to The Club’s five. It allowed Utah to better find its stride in the middle frame.

Ingram made 30 saves and even took a shutout into the final period. However, it wasn't a picture-perfect return for him and his team.

Brock Nelson also scored in the third period to tie the score as the Islanders won a third straight game for the first time this season.
