  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Falls in overtime

    Patera made 30 saves on 35 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators on Tuesday.

    In a high-scoring affair, the two goaltenders faced the exact same amount of shots but Patera was unable to make that extra save to come up with the win in overtime. The Golden Knights found themselves up 3-0 in the first period but the Predators battled back as they scored four goals in the final two frames, including three consecutive in the third. It was Patera's first start since Jan. 10 as he battles with fellow netminder Logan Thompson for playing time.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Starting in Nashville

    Patera will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Predators.

    Patera will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Logan Thompson played in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over St. Louis. The 25-year-old Patera has a 1-3-0 record with a 3.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five NHL outings this season. Nashville is tied for 12th in the league with 3.23 goals per contest this campaign.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Back with big club

    Patera was recalled from AHL Henderson on Sunday.

    Adin Hill was injured Saturday against Columbus, so Patera will join Vegas as a depth option. If Hill isn't available in St. Louis on Monday, Patera will likely serve as the backup behind Logan Thompson.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Dropped to minors

    Patera was assigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.

    Patera suited up as Adin Hill's backup in Monday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota because Logan Thompson (illness) was unavailable. Thompson has plenty of time to recover ahead of Saturday's home matchup versus Carolina.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Recalled from AHL

    Patera was called up from AHL Henderson on Monday.

    Logan Thompson (illness) won't be in the lineup Monday against Minnesota, so Patera will probably serve as Adin Hill's backup. However, it should be noted that Vegas has not confirmed a starting goaltender yet for the contest.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Returned to AHL

    Patera (undisclosed) was assigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Remains unavailable

    Patera (undisclosed) won't dress for Monday's game against the Devils, Chris Chapman of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

    With Patera unavailable, Logan Thompson will start versus New Jersey with Isaiah Saville serving as his backup. Adin Hill (undisclosed) could return to action as soon as Tuesday against the Islanders, which means Patera will likely return to the minors as soon as he's healthy.

    Patera will miss a third straight game Monday but appears to be nearing a return. The 24-year-old is 1-3-0 with a .901 save percentage through five NHL appearances this season. Logan Thompson is expected to start Monday with Isaiah Saville serving as the backup.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Unavailable Saturday

    Patera (undisclosed) won't play Saturday's home game versus Calgary, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

    Logan Thompson is expected to start while Isaiah Saville will be the backup goaltender. Patera has a 3.17 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 14 appearances with AHL Henderson as well as a 3.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five outings with Vegas.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Not dressing due to injury

    Patera (undisclosed) will not dress for Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

    Patera played all of Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Avalanche, but apparently sustained an injury between the end of that contest and the start of Thursday's game. Isaiah Saville is up with the Golden Knights to back up Logan Thompson, who will return from an illness Thursday. Adin Hill (undisclosed) remains on injured reserve.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: No help in loss

    Patera stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Avalanche.

    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 top-level appearances in 2023-24. Once Hill and Logan Thompson (illness) are both able to play, Patera will likely head back to AHL Henderson.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Starting Wednesday

    Contrary to a previous report that had Adin Hill (undisclosed) starting, Patera will start Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

    Hill was initially expected to start but ultimately wasn't 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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Busy in Saturday's loss

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

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Set to start Saturday

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

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Battles hard, but takes loss

    Patera made 31 saves in a 5-4 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Slated to start Thursday

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

    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 versus the Lightning. 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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: 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.

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Jiri Patera: Back in NHL

    Patera was summoned from AHL Henderson on Monday.

    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. Patera made 34 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.
