Thatcher Demko Out For Game 2, Questionable For Rest Of Series
5 months agoVancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Tuesday's Game 2 against Nashville and is considered questionable for the rest of the series due to a lower-body injury. The Canucks No. 1 only recently returned to action after missing five weeks with a knee injury. He saved 20 of 22 shots in Game 1 against the Predators, helping Vancouver to a 4-2 win. Casey DeSmith, who has previously featured just once in the playoffs, will take over the crease while Demko heals. DeSmith has had an up-and-down year in Vancouver and posted a 12-9-6 record during the regular season, allowing 2.89 goals with a .896 save percentage.
