Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced Sunday night that the club signed goaltender Dylan Ferguson to a professional tryout (PTO).

The 25-year-old netminder spent the 2023-24 season with Minsk Dynamo of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), going 9-9-0 with a .904 save percentage and a 2.51 goals-against-average in 23 appearances.

Drafted by the Dallas Stars in the seventh round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Ferguson had spent four seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Kamloops Blazers, posting a 61-72-11 record with a .908 SV% and 3.04 GAA.

Just two days after being drafted, he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, along with a second-round pick in 2020, in exchange for defenseman Marc Methot. He made an emergency appearance for the Golden Knights early in the 2017-18 season, playing nine minutes of relief and allowing one goal on two shots.

Between the 2019-20 and 2022-23 seasons, Ferguson bounced up and down between the American Hockey League and ECHL, never making more than 16 appearances for a single team during that span. His best stretch of hockey was arguably in 2020-21 when playing with the ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets. After 11 regular-season games and a 7-3-1 record, he played in 13 playoff games and helped the Komets win the Kelly Cup.

During the 2022-23 season, he appeared in 13 AHL games between the Belleville Senators and Toronto Marlies, posting an 8-3-0 record. He would also make two starts with the Ottawa Senators, going 1-1-0 and giving up five goals and posting a .940 SV% and 2.52 GAA.

The Canucks went 50-23-9 with 109 points in 2023-24, earning a Pacific Division title. They would lose in seven games to the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
