JIRI PATERA
Canucks: Goalie Jiri Patera claimed off waivers again, this time by Vancouver Patera was claimed off waivers by the Bruins and put back on waivers once their crease conundrum was settled.
Picked up by former club Patera was re-claimed off waivers by Vancouver on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Impact Patera's stint in Boston lasted less than a week after he was claimed by the Bruins, presumably, to bolster the goalie room in the absence of Jeremy Swayman. With Swayman finally signed, Patera's services were no longer needed, allowing the Canucks to bring the netminder back into the fold. Since they originally waived Patera for the purpose of sending him down to the minors, he will now be headed to AHL Abbotsford for the start of the 2024-25 season.

Impact Patera posted a record of 11-10-4 with a 2.99 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 25 outings with AHL Henderson during the 2023-24 regular season. He will likely remain in the minors for most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign.

He was also 1-3-1 with a 3.98 GAA and an .893 save percentage in six NHL contests with the Golden Knights.
