Patera was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Patera was called up by Vancouver on Monday, but he didn't make any appearances during his stint with the NHL club. He should see more consistent playing time in the minors, while Nikita Tolopilo was called up Thursday to provide additional depth behind Kevin Lankinen for Vancouver.

Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patera was sent down by the Canucks on Saturday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Nikita Tolopilo left the team since his wife is in labor. Patera will likely serve as Kevin Lankinen's backup while Tolopilo is away from the team.

Patera was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Patera was the backup goaltender in both games this week. He has made only one appearance at the NHL level this season, and it was not pretty, as he allowed seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to Florida. Look for Kevin Lankinen to return to the lineup Saturday after missing a pair of games due to personal reasons.

Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kevin Lankinen will not travel with the Canucks for their upcoming four-game road trip due to personal reasons, which resulted in Patera being elevated from the minors. The 26-year-old Patera is now the de facto No. 1 netminder, as Thatcher Demko is currently on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. At this point, Patera seems likely to get the nod for Wednesday's game in Anaheim. The 2017 sixth-round pick allowed seven goals on 40 shots in a loss to Florida on Nov. 17 in his lone appearances with the big club this season.

Patera was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Patera saw action in one game during his November stint with the Canucks, giving up seven goals on 40 shots (.825 save percentage) in a loss to the Panthers on Nov. 17. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) still on the shelf, the Canucks brought up Nikita Tolopilo from the minors in a corresponding move, presumably to serve as the No. 2 behind Kevin Lankinen against the Ducks on Wednesday.

Patera stopped 33 of 40 shots in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

The wild back-and-forth affair saw the Canucks take a 2-0 lead in the first period, fall behind 5-2 midway through the second, then rally to tie it up in the third before the Panthers finally pulled away. Patera didn't give up any egregiously bad goals, but he also showed some nerves at times, which perhaps shouldn't have been surprising considering his first NHL start of the season was coming against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs. Kevin Lankinen should continue to get most of the work while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is sidelined, but Vancouver has back-to-back sets coming up each of the next two weekends, so Patera figures to get at least a little more action while up with the big club.

Patera will defend the road crease against Florida on Monday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, and Patera will make his season debut as a result after Kevin Lankinen started against the Lightning on Sunday. Patera has made eight NHL appearances for the Golden Knights, going 3-3-1 with a 3.58 GAA and .902 save percentage. The Panthers are scoring just 2.72 goals per game to begin the season, which is tied for the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is no word at this time as to whether Thatcher Demko or Kevin Lankinen are injured. Patera has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .894 save percentage in five AHL appearances this season. Patera has played eight NHL games across a pair of seasons with Vegas, posting a 3-3-1 record.

Patera was placed on waivers by the Canucks on Monday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patera spent most of training camp with Vancouver, but he'll presumably head back to AHL Abbotsford if he clears waivers. He made seven regular-season appearances for Abbotsford last year, going 2-2-2 with a 2.79 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Patera was re-claimed off waivers by Vancouver on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
