Jiri Patera
Boston Bruins Goaltender #31
One appearance, seven goals against, and a career that has been almost entirely spent waiting.

Last Season
One appearance. A 7.39 goals-against average and a .825 save percentage, which is a single bad night rather than a body of work. Nine career NHL games in total.
The Physical Game
Six foot three, 212, and he takes up space in the ordinary modern way. The technique is sound enough that he has stayed employed as an organisational goaltender, and there is not enough NHL evidence to say more than that honestly.
His career figure across nine games is .8922, which would be poor if it meant anything at this sample size. It does not.
The Mental Game
Untested at this level in any meaningful sense. He has spent most of the last three seasons in the American League, where the job is to be ready and to not complain, and by all appearances he has done it.
The Intangibles
He is 27, a sixth-round pick, and the third goaltender on a club whose starter played 55 games. This page exists because he is on the roster, not because there is anything here to project.
If he plays ten games this season the report will be worth writing. Ask again then.
