At practice Monday Patera is on the NHL roster and practicing with the team Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Patera has secured just one win in his six NHL games this season, with the lone victory coming Dec. 10 against San Jose. Unless Adin Hill (undisclosed) is sidelined long-term, Patera is unlikely to actually get into an NHL game, instead serving as the No, 2 option behind Logan Thompson.

Dropped to AHL Patera was demoted to AHL Henderson on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Patera coughed up five goals on 35 shots against Nashville on March 26, his first NHL appearance since Jan. 10. He's 1-3-1 with an .893 save percentage at the NHL level this season.

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

Impact 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.

Starting in Nashville Patera will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Predators.

Impact 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 promote goalie Patera from AHL team with uncertainty over Hill's injury

The Golden Knights recalled goalie Jiri Patera from their American Hockey League affiliate in Henderson to replace Adin Hill as Vegas embarks on a crucial four-game road trip

MARCH 24, 2024 • Associated Press

Back with big club Patera was recalled from AHL Henderson on Sunday.

Impact 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.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped to minors Patera was assigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from AHL Patera was called up from AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Patera will get some playing time in the minors after missing the past six games due to an undisclosed injury. In five appearances with Vegas this season, he has posted a 1-3-0 record with a 3.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Patera (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's home game against Pittsburgh, per Paul Delos Santos of The Hockey News.

Impact Patera has a 1-3-0 record, 3.75 GAA and .901 save percentage in five contests with Vegas this season. Logan Thompson is expected to start Saturday while Isaiah Saville will serve as the backup goaltender.

JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable vs. Rangers Patera (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, per the NHL media site.

Impact Patera has a 1-3-0 record, 3.75 GAA and .901 save percentage in five contests this season. Logan Thompson is expected to start Thursday while Isaiah Saville will serve as the backup goaltender.

JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Patera (undisclosed) will not be available Monday against Nashville but could dress as early as Thursday against the Rangers, per Sin Bin Vegas.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 with AHL Henderson as well as a 3.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five outings with Vegas.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
