Bruins claim goalie Jiri Patera off waivers 

The 6-foot-3, 212-pound netminder posted a 11-10-4 record, with a 2.99 goals against average and a .903 save percentage. He has played in 85 career AHL games, sporting an overall record of 37-40-6 with a 2.92 goals against average and a .907 save percentage.

Patera has also appeared in eight career NHL games with the Vegas Golden Knights. The Prague, Czechia native was originally selected by Vegas in the sixth round (161st overall) of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

He is the fourth goaltender added to the current roster, joining Joonas Korpisalo, Brandon Bussi and Michael DiPietro. Restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman still remains unsigned in a contract dispute.
