Narrative:
We were at approximately 11;000 feet descending on the arrival when we got a left engine oil press master warning message. Itt began flashing red at what I believe was 908 degrees. Engine oil pressure was also red and below 25 psi; and we got the accompanying 'engine oil' verbal warning. The first officer was flying the plane so I gave him the radios and I began the QRH immediate action items. At the time of the event we were already in icing conditions and light turbulence. The first officer immediately told ATC we need lower to get out of the weather. ATC gave us a descent to 4;000 feet and at that time we began experiencing constant moderate turbulence. Meanwhile I was verifying; per the QRH; that we did in fact have the master warning message and an oil pressure below 25 psi and I began the intentional shutdown of our left engine. It was challenging dealing with the emergency in the moderate turbulence; but I completed the QRH procedure while the first officer got us below the weather and vectors towards [the] airport. We discussed our plan and decided to continue and land at [destination]. We had discussed the weather; so we already knew it was good weather at the field and we also knew that the tower was open. We requested to have the firetrucks meet us at the runway as a precaution. At that time; I called the flight attendant and briefed him on the situation. We continued on and the first officer did a great job landing uneventfully; with one engine and flaps 20.

Title: CRJ-200 Captain reported landing safely after shutting down the left engine following a low oil pressure message and high ITT.
Narrative: We were at approximately 11;000 feet descending on the arrival when we got a L ENG OIL PRESS Master Warning Message. ITT began flashing red at what I believe was 908 degrees. Engine oil pressure was also red and below 25 PSI; and we got the accompanying 'Engine Oil' verbal warning. The First Officer was flying the plane so I gave him the radios and I began the QRH Immediate Action items. At the time of the event we were already in icing conditions and light turbulence.
