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

Demko has been out of action since Feb. 8 versus the Maple Leafs and will be back on the bench versus St. Louis. 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.
