Young's call-up was made necessary after Abbotsford goalie Jiri Patera suffered an apparent injury in the first period of yesterday's (Nov. 6) game against the Ontario Reign.

Starting goalie Nikita Tolopilo allowed four goals in 12:54 in the first period and was pulled for Patera. However, after just over five minutes of action, Patera was forced to leave the game due to injury. No update has been provided yet of his status or the injury he suffered.

Patera is hurt. Looks like it could be a knee

The Canucks ended up losing 8-4 to Ontario in yesterday's game. Abbotsford has now allowed 39 goals in 10 games, which ranks them as the fourth highest in the AHL.

The team returns to the Abbotsford Centre for games against the Bakersfield Condors on Saturday (Nov. 9) and Sunday (Nov. 10).
