No help in loss Patera stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Patera wasn't expected to start this game, but Adin Hill (undisclosed) was not able to make his return from injured reserve. For playing on short notice, it was a solid effort from Patera in his best NHL start of the year, but he still took his third straight loss. The 24-year-old is 1-3-0 with 16 goals allowed over five appearances. Once Hill and Logan Thompson (illness) are both able to play, Patera will likely head back to AHL Henderson.

Starting Wednesday Contrary to a previous report, Patera will start Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Adin Hill (undisclosed) was initially expected to start, but was not cleared to play prior to warmups. Patera will make his fifth appearance of the season, having gone 1-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 126 shots so far. He'll have a tough road matchup ahead against the Avalanche's high-end talent.

Busy in Saturday's loss Patera turned aside 38 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The young goalie stood on his head early, facing 20 shots in the first period alone and stopping them all, but Patera couldn't do much when Florida scored twice on power plays less than two minutes apart in the third period. It's still not clear when Logan Thompson (upper body) might be able to return, and Adin Hill (undisclosed) also lacks a timeline to come off IR, so Patera could still be Vegas' No. 1 netminder on the other side of the Christmas break.

Set to start Saturday Patera is expected to start on the road against Florida on Saturday, per Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

Impact Patera has a 1-1-0 record, 3.88 GAA and .893 save percentage in three contests this season. While those results are poor, the Golden Knights are missing goaltenders Logan Thompson (upper body) and Adin Hill (undisclosed), so they're low on options. At least the Panthers are a favorable matchup -- they're tied for 24th offensively this year with 2.88 goals per game.

Battles hard, but takes loss Patera made 31 saves in a 5-4 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

Impact Patera battled all night and can't be faulted, even on the winning goal. He made a save on Brayden Point and deftly directed the rebound to the deep left wing side of his net. But Nick Paul was standing right there and instantly knifed a snipe from almost the goal line. Patera will dress and play as long as Logan Thompson (upper body) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) remain sidelined. The team around him is strong, so Patera could end up being a solid short-term play.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Thursday Patera is set to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact Patera is getting this opportunity because Logan Thompson (upper body) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) are both unavailable. Isaiah Saville was summoned from AHL Henderson on Wednesday and is slated to serve as the backup goaltender. Patera is 1-0-0 with a 3.00 GAA and a .917 save percentage in two contests with Vegas this season. The 24-year-old netminder also has a 3.17 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 14 outings with Henderson. The Lightning rank ninth offensively this year with 3.36 goals per game, so they'll be a tough assignment.

Perfect in relief Tuesday Patera turned aside all 10 shots he faced after replacing Logan Thompson early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Making just his second NHL appearance of the season, Patera was sharp and gave Vegas a chance to at least make the final score respectable. With Adin Hill (undisclosed) potentially still unavailable, Patera could be in line to get the start and give Thompson a breather Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Back in NHL Patera was summoned from AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact Patera's return to the big club doesn't bode well for Adin Hill (undisclosed), who was injured in his return to the lineup Sunday against Ottawa. Petera made 35 saves in a 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks on Dec. 10 during his NHL season debut. If Hill isn't able to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against Carolina, Patera will probably serve as Logan Thompson's backup.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reassigned to minors Patera was demoted to AHL Henderson on Sunday.

Impact Patera was sent back down after Adin Hill (lower body) returned to action Sunday. However, Hill quickly left with an injury, so Patera could be back up with the big club in the coming days. Patera stopped 34 shots in a win against the Sharks on Dec. 10, his lone NHL appearance so far this season.

Grabs shootout win Patera stopped 35 of 39 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Patera allowed a goal in the opening minute, and then blew a two-goal lead late in the third period. The 24-year-old still emerged with the win, stopping two shootout attempts to secure his first NHL victory of the season and the third of his career in as many starts. Patera will continue to hold down the backup role while Adin Hill (lower body) is out of action, but he may not play next week, as the Golden Knights don't have a back-to-back scheduled.

Tending twine Sunday Patera will get the starting nod at home against the Sharks on Sunday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Patera will make his season debut and his first NHL appearance since March 19 of the 2022-23 campaign. The 24-year-old is 6-6-2 with a .900 save percentage and a 3.17 GAA in 14 AHL games this season. He's stopped 65 of 70 shots in two career NHL outings.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Patera was brought up from AHL Henderson on Saturday.

Impact Patera's recall does not bode well for the availability of Adin Hill (lower body) ahead of Saturday's contest versus Washington. Hill was forced to leave Thursday's 4-1 win over Vancouver for precautionary reasons. If Hill isn't available for Saturday's matchup, Patera may end up serving as Logan Thompson's backup.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Re-ups with Vegas Patera signed a one-year, two-way contract with Vegas on Sunday, per CapFriendly

Impact Patera posted a 14-15-1 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 31 appearances with AHL Henderson last season. He also posted a 2.50 GAA and a .929 save percentage en route to a mark of 2-0-0 with the Golden Knights in 2022-23. The 24-year-old netminder is likely to spend most of next season in the minors.

Cruises to second win Patera turned aside 35 shots in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The rookie netminder was busy but not exactly challenged, and Vegas scored four goals in a little over six minutes during the second period to put the game out of reach. Patera has won his first two NHL starts, stopping 65 of 70 shots, but it's not clear how long he might stick around as Jonathan Quick's backup -- Adin Hill (lower body) has an uncertain return date, while Logan Thompson (lower body) has just begun skating again.

Earns win in debut Patera stopped 30 of 33 shots in Sunday's 5-3 victory over St. Louis.

Impact Patera was solid in his first NHL appearance, allowing three goals on 33 shots in a winning effort. The 24-year-old netminder got the start with Adin Hill (lower body) sidelined and Jonathan Quick having started Saturday. Patera put up decent numbers this season with AHL Henderson, going 12-13-1 with a .916 save percentage. Depending on the severity of Hill's injury, Patera could see more opportunities in net with Vegas.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ascends to top level Patera was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Impact Patera was recalled as No. 1 goaltender Adin Hill missed practice Wednesday with a lower-body injury. Patera is expected to back up Jonathan Quick on Thursday in Tampa Bay. Patera was 12-13-1 with a 2.66 GAA and .916 save percentage in AHL action, before his recall.
