The Edmonton Oilers tabbed Tristan Jarry as their starting goalie for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the host Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.

Connor Ingram served as the Edmonton Oilers' goaltender for the first three games of the series, but the higher-seeded Oilers have fallen behind 2-1 in the best-of-seven set.

Jarry spent practice on Saturday in the net typically used by the next game's starter, but coach Kris Knoblauch kept his cards close to the vest until game time.

This will mark Jarry's first Stanley Cup playoff appearance since a 4-3 overtime loss by the Pittsburgh Penguins against the New York Rangers on May 15, 2022.

Jarry, who turns 31 this week, was acquired from the Penguins on Dec. 12. He fashioned a 9-6-2 record with a 3.86 GAA and .858 save percentage in 19 appearances for the Oilers. He has not started a game since April 7 -- a 6-5 overtime loss at Utah -- and has not played since handling the final 20 minutes on April 8 in a 5-2 win against San Jose.

Jarry started eight postseason games for the Penguins from 2020-22 and produced a 2-6 record with a 3.00 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Ingram, 29, who posted a 16-10-3 record with a 2.60 goals-against average and .899 save percentage in 32 regular-season games, has been less effective during the postseason. In the wake of Friday's 7-4 win by the Ducks, Ingram has surrendered a league-high 14 goals and enters Game 4 with a 4.70 GAA and .849 save percentage.
