Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Gets no help in loss
Demko stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers. The second goal was an empty-netter.
The Canucks pushed late in the game, but they couldn't give Demko any goal support. The 29-year-old netminder has yet to allow more than three goals in any of his seven outings this season, and this was the second time he's started consecutive contests. Demko is at 4-3-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .926 save percentage. He'll need more help to regularly earn wins, but the California native looks to be back in peak form after an injury-riddled 2024-25. The Canucks start a three-game road trip in St. Louis on Thursday.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: First goalie off Tuesday
Demko was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus the Rangers.
Demko will make consecutive starts for only the second time this season, having split the last eight games with Kevin Lankinen. For his part, the 29-year-old Demko is sporting a 4-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA and .922 save percentage through six appearances this year. Eventually, Demko figures to take a larger share of the workload, though Vancouver figures to take a cautious approach given the netminder's injury history.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Fends off Oilers in overtime win
Demko stopped 26 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
It wasn't the prettiest performance, especially after blowing a 3-1 lead in the third period, but Demko ultimately got the job done. He's won three of his last four starts, though he has allowed three goals in three of those games. The 29-year-old goalie is at a 4-2-0 record with a 2.36 GAA and a .922 save percentage over six outings. Demko has alternated starts with Kevin Lankinen for much of the season, but the former is getting the better results and may earn a majority of the playing time. The Canucks host the Rangers on Tuesday.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Starting against Edmonton
Demko will start Sunday's home game against the Oilers, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Demko has alternated starts with Kevin Lankinen over the past two weeks, a trend that will continue in Sunday's matchup. Demko has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.24 GAA and .927 save percentage over his first five appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. He faced the Oilers on the road Oct. 11, turning aside 34 of 36 shots in a 3-1 loss.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Beaten twice Thursday
Demko stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
It's hard to blame Demko for the outcome of this game, as the lone two goals he conceded were a shorthanded tally and a tip-in, and his 33 saves were the second-most he's recorded in a game this campaign. Through five starts, Demko owns an excellent .927 save percentage and a 2.24 GAA. His next chance to suit up will come against the Canadiens on Saturday, but it's unclear if he'll get the nod since Vancouver has been rotating goaltenders in the last few games.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Tending twine Thursday
Demko will guard the road crease against Nashville on Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Demko and Kevin Lankinen have alternated starts for most of the first few weeks of the season, and that pattern will continue against the Predators. Over his first four starts, Demko has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .922 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup against Nashville on Thursday, as the team has averaged just 2.43 goals to begin the year, which is the fourth-worst mark in the league.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Backstops team to victory
Demko stopped 28 of the 31 shots he faced during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.
Demko was given a 4-0 lead, and he was able to hold off the furious Capitals comeback just short of the finish line, earning his second straight win. The 29-year-old has seen plenty of shot volume, facing at least 30 shots on goal in each of his last three games. His numbers through four starts are pretty good: 3-1-0 record, 2.03 GAA and a .922 save percentage.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Takes down Stars
Demko stopped 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
Demko had his worst game of the season but still came away with a win thanks to a four-goal second period by the Canucks. The 29-year-old netminder has given up just six goals on 85 shots over his three starts this season. He'll likely get a rest Friday when the Canucks visit the Blackhawks, but Demko should be back between the pipes Saturday versus the Capitals.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Set to start in Dallas
Demko will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Thursday, per Canucks Insider.
Demko is set to make his third start in the first four games of the season. The 29-year-old has been sharp so far, allowing just three goals on 54 shots while going 1-1-0. Demko will have a tough task ahead, as the Stars have racked up 14 goals in three games.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Gets little help in loss
Demko allowed two goals on 36 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Demko was left out to dry by his teammates, as the Oilers outshot the Canucks 37-15. The 29-year-old netminder has looked good to start 2025-26, allowing just three goals on 54 shots while going 1-1-0 in his first two starts. Demko could get the nod again at home Monday versus the Blues, who are coming off a 4-2 win over the Flames on Saturday.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Tending twine in Edmonton
Demko will guard the road goal against the Oilers on Saturday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
Demko made 17 saves in a 5-1 win over Calgary on Thursday to open the 2025-26 campaign. During the 2024-25 regular season, he posted a 1-1-0 record versus Edmonton while stopping 41 of 49 shots.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Cruises to win Thursday
Demko stopped 17 of 18 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
Demko didn't face much of a challenge against a Flames team on the second half of a back-to-back. The Canucks still had a thin lead for the much of the first two periods before pulling away in the third. Demko is set to operate as the starter in 2025-26, though any slump could open the door for Kevin Lankinen to get some playing time. The Canucks will hit the road for the first time for their next game, which is a tough test Saturday in Edmonton.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Expected to face Calgary
Demko is set to start at home against Calgary on Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Demko underwhelmed in 2024-25 with a 10-8-3 record, 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage in 23 outings, but injury issues were a major factor. Unlike last year, he's healthy going into this season. Demko is a prime candidate for a bounce-back campaign.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Exits ice first Friday
Demko (personal) was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll guard the home crease against the Oilers.
Demko had been away from the club for personal reasons but has rejoined his teammates ahead of Friday's preseason finale. Injuries limited the 29-year-old backstop to just 23 regular-season outings last year in which he went 10-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and one shutout. If Demko can avoid a stint in the infirmary, he should be capable of playing 50-plus games this year and pushing for the 30-win threshold.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Away from team for personal reasons
Demko (personal) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Vancouver has two preseason games left before the start of the regular season, and it remains to be seen if Demko will be available for those contests at this time. If the 29-year-old were to miss any time to start the regular season, Kevin Lankinen would serve as the clear-cut No. 1 option between the pipes.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Set to tend twine in Edmonton
Demko is projected to start in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Demko will make his second start of the preseason after stopping 11 of 12 shots in Wednesday's tune-up game versus the Flames. The San Diego native is No. 1 on Vancouver's goaltending depth chart, but Kevin Lankinen should see his fair share of starts in 2025-26 when taking into account Demko's lengthy injury history. The 29-year-old Demko inked a three-year, $25.5 million contract extension with the Canucks in the offseason.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Expected to start
Demko is set to get the home start for Wednesday's preseason game against Calgary, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Demko might not end up playing the full game, given that it's still early in the preseason. He's trying to put an injury-riddled campaign behind him in which he posted a 10-8-3 record, 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage across 23 appearances with Vancouver. If Demko stays healthy, he could bounce back in a big way this year.
