Canucks Live: Thatcher Demko Out, Lankinen Starts
Thatcher Demko will not play tonight as the Vancouver Canucks host the Columbus Blue Jackets. Below is the latest update on the team and Demko's status.
Demko's Playing Status
The Canucks' communication around Demko's situation was confusing, but the story is clear: Demko was advised during the summer that he should take days off when needed, especially due to the demanding NHL schedule this season. Since last Monday, Demko has not played. He participated in Wednesday's morning skate but only served as a backup that evening. On Thursday, he took a day off along with the rest of the team.
Head coach Adam Foote confirmed on Saturday that Demko would miss that day's game.
It remains uncertain whether Demko will play when Vancouver faces the Colorado Avalanche Sunday night.
