• Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Loses in overtime

  2H ago • By RotoWire

  Demko stopped 28 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah. Demko dropped to 1-1-2 after letting a 2-0 lead slip away. Clayton Keller and Dylan Guenther scored in the third period for Utah, and Mikhail Sergachev finished the comeback at 4:48 of overtime. Demko showed some promise in a 3-1 win over the Avalanche on Monday, but he's still somewhat of a risky fantasy play as he gets back up to speed on the fly. He's allowed 13 goals over four starts, and it's likely he'll get some rest with the Canucks visiting the Golden Knights on Thursday to finish a back-to-back set.

• Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Set to start Wednesday's game

  Demko will be between the road pipes for Wednesday's matchup against Utah, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports. Demko went through his starting routine during Wednesday's morning skate, and he'll officially draw the start for the fourth time in the Canucks' last five games. The 29-year-old missed the first two months of the season while rehabbing from a knee injury that he sustained last year, and he's posted a 1-1-1 record, 3.32 GAA and .881 save percentage over his three appearances since returning to action.

• Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Stellar in win Monday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Demko saved 30 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche. Demko made his third start of the season Monday and certainly left a good impression, earning his first win of the campaign and maintaining a shutout bid until there were just 46 seconds left in the third period. The 29-year-old is still shaking off the rust that comes with rehabbing from a knee injury sustained last season, but this was an outing that points in the right direction for the eight-year veteran. Through three appearances, Demko has gone 1-1-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .881 save percentage, so there's still margin for improvement.

  Demko will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Monday, per Canucks Insider. Since returning from a knee injury, Demko has surrendered nine goals on 53 shots en route to a record of 0-1-1. Arturs Silovs will be the backup because Kevin Lankinen (illness) is unavailable. Colorado sits eighth in the league with 3.31 goals per game in 2024-25.

• Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Yields five goals in loss

  Demko stopped 23 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins. Demko is 0-1-1 with nine goals allowed on 53 shots over his first two starts this season. The 29-year-old got the start Saturday somewhat by default -- Kevin Lankinen (illness) was unable to suit up. It wouldn't be shocking to see Demko and Lankinen alternate starts when both are healthy. For now, Demko appears to still be shaking off the rust after a nearly eight-month recovery from a knee injury, so fantasy managers may want to be selective about when they put him in the starting lineup.
