Connor Ingram will not participate in the Utah Mammoth’s training camp and is expected to be placed on waivers, general manager Bill Armstrong said Wednesday.
The 28-year-old goalie played 22 games for Utah last season before entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on March 9. He went 9-8-4 with a 3.27 goals-against average and .882 save percentage.
