Playing career

Ferguson played midget hockey in the Saskatoon Midget Hockey League with the Notre Dame Hounds as he was selected 166th overall by the Kamloops Blazers in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.[3] Ferguson played two more seasons with the Hounds before signing with the Blazers in 2015.[4]

Following his second season of major junior hockey with the Blazers in 2016–17, Ferguson was selected with the 194th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.[5] However, he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on June 27 (only two days after he was drafted) with a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Marc Methot.[6]

On September 28, 2017, the Golden Knights signed Ferguson to a three-year, entry level contract.[7] He began the 2017–18 season with the Blazers. However, on October 31, Ferguson was called up by the Golden Knights under emergency basis following a number of goaltending injuries.[8] Ferguson made his NHL debut on November 14, in relief of Maxime Lagacé against the Edmonton Oilers in which he allowed 1 goal on 2 shots in 9:14 of playing time.[9] Ferguson was returned to the Blazers on November 17 after the Golden Knights activated Malcolm Subban from injured reserve.[10] As the Blazers failed to make a postseason run, the Golden Knights called up Ferguson as their third backup goalie during the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs.[11][12]

Ferguson returned to the Blazers for the 2018–19 season after attending the Golden Knights training camp.[13] During the Blazers season-opening week, Ferguson was named the WHL Goaltender of the Week after he recorded a 1.00 goals-against-average and a 0.970 save percentage.[14]
