Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Nabs shootout win in return
Demko stopped 22 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts in Monday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
Seeing his first action since Feb. 8 after recovering from a lower-body injury, Demko secured a crucial win for the Canucks as they push for a wild-card spot. The 29-year-old netminder has had a tough campaign due to injuries, but with Kevin Lankinen struggling in March (4-5-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .873 save percentage), the door is open for Demko to move into a timeshare or even reclaim the starting job if he can stay healthy.

Demko (lower body) will fill the backup role against the Blues on Thursday, per NHL.com.

With Demko at least healthy enough for the No. 2 role, he could be ready to start against the Rangers on Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, Demko was seeing a heavy workload, but the team may have to take a more cautious approach and split the starts between Demko and Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Deemed week-to-week
Demko (lower body) is week-to-week and won't accompany Vancouver on the team's upcoming five-game road trip, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
The Canucks will re-evaluate Demko when the team returns from the trip. He sustained the injury, which isn't to his knee, in a 2-1 win over Toronto on Feb. 8 before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has a 6-6-3 record with one shutout, a 2.87 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 17 appearances this season. Vancouver recalled Arturs Silovs from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday under emergency conditions to occupy the backup role behind Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Exits contest in first period
Demko (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.
Demko lasted 10:00 into the contest, stopping all six shots he faced. Kevin Lankinen took over in goal when Demko exited. The one silver lining here is that Demko will have two weeks to recover before the Canucks' visit to Vegas on Feb. 22 because of the 4 Nations Face-Off. The severity of the 29-year-old goalie's injury is unclear at this time.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Guarding goal Thursday
Demko will start in Thursday's road game versus the Sharks, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Demko gets the nod in his home state of California. He's started to turn things around recently, going 2-1-0 with just four goals allowed over his last three appearances. The 29-year-old has a favorable matchup Thursday, as the Sharks have scored just nine goals over their last four games.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Stellar in win
Demko stopped 33 of 34 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.
Demko came within 1:28 of a shutout, but he had to settle for the overtime win. It was still a strong outing -- he's won three of his last four starts while allowing just five goals in that span. The 29-year-old seems to have shaken off the rust of a long-term knee injury that prevented him from playing for two months to begin the season. The netminder is now 6-6-3 with a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 16 starts. The Canucks' last game before the 4 Nations Face-Off break is Saturday at home versus the Maple Leafs.

Demko is up to 5-6-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 15 contests, but he's allowed just four goals over his last three outings. The California native may be in line to start again Thursday versus the Sharks, though Kevin Lankinen has also played fairly well of late.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Struggles badly vs. Dallas
Demko stopped 11 of 14 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Stars. Dallas' final two goals were empty-netters.
Demko had a woeful performance Friday and could've allowed more goals had the Stars been more accurate in front of the net. Demko remains the primary option between the pipes for the Canucks, but there's no question he's been struggling of late. He has dropped three of his last four starts while posting a 1-3-0 record, a 3.29 GAA and an .877 save percentage in that stretch.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Bounces back Wednesday
Demko stopped 31 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
This was a close game for a majority of the contest -- the Canucks didn't have a multi-goal lead until Pius Suter's empty-netter with 19 seconds left in the third period. Demko still played well and came away with his second win in four starts. The 29-year-old netminder is now 4-5-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .877 save percentage. Demko is at risk of losing playing time if he can't get his season on track, so performances like this one will need to become more frequent. The Canucks' three-game road trip ends Friday in Dallas.

He'll have a favorable chance to get back on track Wednesday, as the Predators have generated 2.69 goals per game this season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.
