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.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Secures three-year extension
Demko signed a three-year, $25.5 million contract extension with Vancouver on Tuesday.
Demko will see a nice bump in salary, going from $5 million AAV this year to $8.5 million AAV when his new deal begins in 2026-27. If it weren't for health concerns, the 29-year-old netminder likely could have commanded a slightly higher salary -- though two-time Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck set the market at the same $8.5 million Demko is getting. Injuries limited Demko to just 23 regular-season games last year in which he posted a 10-8-3 record and 2.90 GAA. If he can stay healthy, which is a big if, Demko figures to be near the top of most statistical categories during the 2025-26 campaign.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Out for remainder of season
Demko (illness) won't be in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports Sunday.
After missing Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota, Demko won't play in Monday's home matchup against San Jose or Wednesday's home game versus Vegas. Kevin Lankinen and Nikita Tolopilo could split the final two games of the Canucks' season. Demko will conclude the 2024-25 campaign with a 10-8-3 record, one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 23 appearances.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Slated to miss Saturday's game
Demko is expected to miss Saturday's home game against Minnesota because of an illness, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Demko has a 10-8-3 record, 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage in 23 appearances in 2024-25. His slated absence would explain why Vancouver summoned goaltender Nikita Tolopilo from AHL Abbotsford as an emergency recall. Vancouver hasn't announced who will start versus the Wild, but Tolopilo will likely serve as the understudy to Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Wins ugly in overtime
Demko stopped 23 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
In one of the more unusual finishes to a game this season, the Canucks fell behind 5-2 after giving up two goals in 24 seconds late in the third period. They then bounced all the way back with three goals in the final minute, followed by a Kiefer Sherwood tally in overtime to give Demko his fourth win in his last six outings despite the poor performance. For the season, Demko is up to 10-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Canucks' next game is another tough matchup in Colorado on Thursday.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Tending twine in Dallas
Demko will patrol the road crease Tuesday versus the Stars, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet relays.
Demko is 3-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and an .892 save percentage since returning from a lower-body injury March 24. Vancouver is all but eliminated from postseason contention, but if Demko can stay healthy for the team's remaining five games, he could set himself up for a bounce-back season in 2025-26. The 29-year-old was dealing with a knee injury last offseason, so a full summer of training would likely go a long way for Demko, who posted an outstanding 35-14-2 record in 2023-24. As for Tuesday's opponent, Dallas has dropped back-to-back games after winning seven straight.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Cruises to win Saturday
Demko made 30 saves in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
The Canucks scored five times in the first period, taking most of the drama out of the result. Demko has shouldered a heavy workload since returning from a lower-body injury in late March, starting five of Vancouver's last six games and going 3-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .892 save percentage as the team tries to keep its rapidly fading playoff hopes alive.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Starting Saturday
Demko will guard the home net Saturday against the Ducks, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Demko is looking to bounce back from a rough outing against Seattle on Wednesday when he allowed four goals on 18 shots in a 5-0 loss. The 29-year-old netminder is 2-2-0 with an .878 save percentage in four games since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list. Anaheim sits 27th in the league with 2.69 goals per game in 2024-25.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Brutal showing in loss
Demko allowed four goals on 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
This was essentially a must-win game for the Canucks, but the whole team fell flat. Demko is now 2-2-0 with 12 goals allowed over his last four outings since returning from a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old is 8-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 21 starts this season. The Canucks aren't mathematically out of the playoff race yet, but they're eight points back with one game in hand after this contest. Demko could be rested once they're eliminated, as he's had a rough season between poor performance and injuries. He'll likely start one of the next two games, as the Canucks host the Ducks on Saturday and the Golden Knights on Sunday.
