Golden Knights goaltending prospect Jiri Patera has come a long way since his first development camp with the organization two years ago.
That progress was apparent when Patera recorded a shutout in a 3-0 win for the gray team during Friday’s scrimmage at City National Arena.
“It’s awesome to get a shutout, but the defense was playing great,” the 20-year-old said. “I saw every single puck, and if I didn’t see it, it just hit me somewhere. It’s always easier when the defense is playing that well.”
It also helps to be more comfortable with the playing surface.
