Jiri Patera News: Demoted to AHL

Published on January 24, 2026

Patera was loaned to AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.

Patera sat on the bench for all three games during his recent recall. He has seen action in one NHL game this season, allowing seven goals on 40 shots Nov. 17 in an 8-5 loss in Florida. The Canucks recalled Nikita Tolopilo from Abbotsford in a corresponding move.
