Dylan Ferguson is a Canadian goaltender from Lantzville, British Columbia. He first gained attention during his junior career with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL), where he showcased his athleticism and resilience in the net.
Ferguson's path to the NHL took a notable turn in 2017 when the Vegas Golden Knights unexpectedly called him up due to a series of injuries to their goaltenders. Although he was drafted 194th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 2017 NHL Draft, he was traded to Vegas shortly after. Ferguson made his NHL debut with the Golden Knights during the 2017-18 season, coming in as a relief goaltender in a game against the Edmonton Oilers.
Despite limited NHL action early in his career, Ferguson continued to work on his development, splitting time between the AHL and ECHL. His journey has been one of perseverance, and he is often relied upon in critical situations for his teams. Ferguson's path has been a testament to his work ethic and ability to adapt under pressure. He remains a player with the potential to make a larger impact in the NHL as he continues to refine his skills at the professional level.
