KAMLOOPS — Blazers goaltender Dylan Ferguson has signed a three-year, entry level contract with the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights.

The 19 year old Ferguson was drafted in the seventh round, 194th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.

Dallas then traded him to the Golden Knights in exchange for defenceman Marc Methot and a draft pick.

Ferguson was the winning goaltender in the Golden Knights’ first ever preseason game, a 9-4 win over Vancouver.

The Lantzville, BC native backed up Blazers’ primary goaltender Connor Ingram during the 2016-17 WHL season, but with Ingram playing professionally this year, Ferguson has taken over the number one role.
