Cameron Whitehead is a 19-year-old Ontario-born goaltender who is 6-foot-3 and 172 pounds. He was drafted with the 128th overall pick in the fourth round.

Whitehead was ranked seventh in North American goalies before the draft. He will play for Northeastern University in the 2022-23 season.

Last season with the Lincoln Stars in the USHL, he played in 31 games played with a 3.19 GAA and a .892 save percentage.

The Golden Knights selected Quebec-born Patrick Guay with their fifth-round pick at 145th overall.

At 20 years old, Guay is a late-bloomer and elite scoring center with the Charlottetown Islanders of the QMJHL. In 68 games played, he scored 55 goals and 49 points for 104 points.

Fellow Golden Knights prospects Jakub Brabenec and Lukas Cormier also play for the Islanders.
