Thatcher Demko Set For Another Start
3 years agoVancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is set to get his 26th start of the season on Wednesday against Anaheim. He's been very heavily used all year and Demko has sat out just one match in December. He had a pretty miserable time early in the season, but things have improved a lot in Vancouver following a coaching change, and it's allowed Demko to improve his record to 13-11-1. He's lost only one of his last eight starts, taking his goals-against average to 2.63 and save percentage to .919, while also posting his first shutout of the season during the run. Demko seems red-hot right now and the Ducks have some lineup issues, so this looks like a very favorable matchup for the Canucks No. 1.
