The Boston Bruins have added another goaltender amid uncertainty as to Jeremy Swayman's contract status heading into the 2024-25 season.
The Bruins claimed goaltender Jiri Patera off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks, the team announced on Wednesday.
Patera spent most of the 2023-24 season with the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights while being called up for six appearances with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Swayman has yet to attend Bruins training camp amid an ongoing dispute over his next contract. Patera is now set to slot in behind Joonas Korpisalo, alongside Brandon Bussi and Michael DiPietro, on the Boston depth chart.
