Jiri Patera News: Up with big club

Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions on Wednesday.

Patera swapped places with Nikita Tolopilo, who will be Abbotsford's primary goalie during the NHL's Olympic break. Patera will likely get some practice time in when the Canucks regroup prior to the end of the break, but he'll probably return to the AHL when games resume.
