On April 4, 2017, Ingram and the Lightning agreed on a three-year, entry-level contract.[1] He was also signed to an amateur try out with the Syracuse Crunch on the same day. He did not make an appearance with the Crunch for the rest of their season.[2]

Ingram made his professional debut on October 7, 2017 with the Crunch. He made 15 saves on 18 shots in an overtime loss to the Rochester Americans. Ingram recorded his first professional win three weeks later on October 21. He stopped 23 of 24 shots in a 4–1 Crunch win over the Springfield Thunderbirds. On December 9, 2017, Ingram stopped all 18 shots he faced to record his professional shutout over the Belleville Senators. Ingram would finish the regular season with a 20–11–2 record with four shutouts along with a .914 save percentage and 2.33 goals allowed average to help lead the Crunch to the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs. He would split time with Edward Pasquale in the playoffs, posting a 1–3 record with a .904 save percentage and 3.07 goals allowed average. The Crunch would be eliminated in the second round by the eventual Calder Cup champions, the Toronto Marlies.

Ingram spent the 2018–19 season split between the Syracuse Crunch and the Orlando Solar Bears, the ECHL affiliate of the Lightning. In his time with the Crunch, he was an AHL All-Star, posting a 14–7–0 record with six shutouts, a .922 save percentage and 2.26 goals allowed average. In his time with the Solar Bears, Ingram posted an 8–2–0 record with a .914 save percentage and 2.81 goals allowed average. In 10 playoff games with the Solar Bears, he posted a 5–2–3 record along with a .935 save percentage and a 1.94 goals allowed average. The Solar Bears would be eliminated in the second round by the Florida Everblades.

On June 14, 2019, the Nashville Predators announced that they had acquired Ingram in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.[3]

On October 24, 2021, Ingram recorded his first NHL win with the Predators, making 33 saves in a 5–2 win over the Minnesota Wild.[4] Ingram's first win came nearly 9 months after entering the league's player assistance program.[5]

On October 10, 2022, Ingram was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Coyotes.[6] During the 2022–23 season on February 15, 2023, Ingram recorded his first NHL shutout in a 1–0 shootout win against the Tampa Bay Lightning, while making 47 saves and setting the NHL record for saves by a rookie in their first career shutout.[7][8]

Following his first full season in the NHL, establishing career highs in wins and appearances, Ingram was re-signed by the Coyotes to a three-year, $5.85 million contract extension on June 25, 2023.[9]
