Harri Säteri (born 29 December 1989) is a Finnish professional ice hockey goaltender. He currently plays under contract to the Florida Panthers in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Säteri's first full season at the senior level was 2008–09, when he played in 22 matches for Tappara in the SM-liiga. He was selected 106th overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks. He was later a first round selection in the 2009 KHL Junior Draft by SKA St. Petersburg.
On 1 June 2010, Säteri signed a three-year entry level contract with San Jose.[1]
Due to injuries to two San Jose Sharks goaltenders, who also happened to be Finnish (Niemi and Niittymäki), Säteri was on the bench serving as backup to Thomas Greiss on 8 October 2011, though he never went into the game.[2]
After four seasons in the Sharks organization with American Hockey League affiliate, the Worcester Sharks, Säteri opted to leave North America. He signed a one-year contract with the Russian club Vityaz Podolsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), who earlier acquired his rights from SKA St. Petersburg, on 19 May 2014.[3]
After three seasons with Vityaz in the KHL, Säteri opted to return to North America for another attempt with the NHL, signing a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers on July 1, 2017.[4]
