Vancouver Canucks may claim Jiri Patera from waivers after Boston Bruins placed him on waivers.

The Vancouver Canucks may reclaim goaltender Jiri Patera from waivers after the Boston Bruins placed him on waivers following the signing of Jeremy Swayman. Patera, who has eight NHL games, could join the Canucks' AHL team, sharing duties with Nikita Tolopilo until Thatcher Demko returns. Meanwhile, the Bruins have waived three veterans and face potential roster congestion if both Patera and Brandon Bussi clear waivers.
