Jiri Patera Expected To Make His Debut Sunday
Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Jiri Patera is set to make his NHL debut in Sunday's matchup against St. Louis. Jonathan Quick has just beaten Carolina in impressive fashion, and with Adin Hill (lower body) out of commission, Patera is getting a look between the pipes as the team completes a back-to-back. The 24-year-old is a former sixth-round draft pick who has posted a 12-13-1 record in the AHL this season, giving up 2.55 goals with a .916 save percentage. The Blues are averaging 3.08 goals per game, but they have lost eight of their last 11 games, so Patera finds himself in a good spot to make a winning start to his career.
