Patera was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights with the 161st overall pick of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-3 netminder has eight games of NHL experience on his resume, posting a 3-3-1 record, a 3.57 goals-against average (GAA), and a .902 save percentage (SV%).
With this waiver claim, the Bruins have created more competition for their backup role.
