Thatcher Demko News

Demko will unsurprisingly get the nod in Colorado for the Canucks on Wednesday. The 27-year-old netminder has been an integral part of the Canucks' early season success. He most recently turned away 27 of the 28 shots he faced in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Kraken. Demko owns an impressive 9-4-0 record on the season to go along with a .929 SV% and 2.12 GAA. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday with the Canucks being +135 road underdogs to the Avalanche.

Demko is the starter for the Canucks on Monday against the San Jose Sharks. After an astonishing start to the season, posting a .948 SV% along with two shutouts in his first nine games (7-2-0), Demko has fallen back to Earth hard, allowing 12 goals on 81 shots (.852 SV%) in his past three contests (1-2-0). Demko will be looking to rebound back to early-season form as the Canucks are substantial -351 home favourites against the Sharks and their league-worst offence (1.53 GF / GP).

Demko backed up Casey Desmith in the Canucks previous game but will take over the starting job for the eighth time in the last 10 contests as he is set to start Saturday vs. Seattle. The 27-year-old is off to an incredible bounce-back year so far in 2023-24, with his 8-3-0 record, .932 SV%, 2.04 GAA, and two shutouts. He will face Seattle, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory last game but are struggling to score as they are 29th in the NHL in goals per game (2.56).

Demko will be the starter for the Cancuks on Wednesday and will look to build on a tremendous start to the season. Among all goalies who have played at least 10 games, Demko ranks first in goals against average (1.96) and save percentage (.935). He will look to pad those already impressive stats against a New York Islanders team that has lost five straight games (0-4-1), failed to score more than two goals in four straight, and ranks 31st in the league offensively (2.36 GF / GP).

Demko will look to build on the best start of his career on Monday as he will be the Canucks' starting goalie against the Edmonton Oilers. Demko is coming off a 27-save, 2-0 shutout victory over the Dallas Stars, his second shutout of the season, a career-high already. Through eight games (6-2-0), Demko has a gaudy 1.55 GAA and .947 SV%, trailing only Jeremy Swayman of the Boston Bruins in both categories among goalies that have started at least four games. The Canucks are slight -101 home underdogs against an Oilers team that is 2-7-1 but has enough offensive threats on their roster to make any opposing goalie uncomfortable.

Demko will start his third straight Canucks' contest Saturday after winning his fourth-consecutive start with a 30 save victory (.968 SV%) over San Jose last game. The 27-year-old has been one of the league's hottest goaltenders early, with his 5-2-0 record, .940 SV% and 1.79 GAA. He hosts the Dallas Stars Saturday, who is in the midst of a three-game winning streak and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Demko will start for the Canucks on Thursday and look to improve on his impressive start to the season as the Canucks visit the low-scoring San Jose Sharks. Demko's 1.92 GAA and .935 SV% through six games (4-2-0) mixed with a winless Sharks team (0-8-1) that has the worst offence in the league (1.00 GF / GP) is a perfect recipe for the Canucks, who are -225 road favourites.

Demko will be the starter for the Canucks on Tuesday as he looks to continue his terrific start to the season. After five games (3-2-0), Demko has a dazzling 1.91 GAA and .936 SV%, aided most recently by a 27-save shutout victory on Friday against the St. Louis Blues. The Canucks as a whole are rolling, with points in four consecutive games (3-0-1) and are -138 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that ranks in the bottom third of league offence, averaging 2.88 goals per game.

In his most recent matchup, Demko had a light night, saving 15 of 17 shots in a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. The Canucks are -188 home favourites against a stingy Blues team that is scoring (2.17 GF/GP) almost as infrequently as they are allowing goals (2.33 GA/GP).

Demko will look to continue a fabulous start to the season that has seen him post a 1.70 GAA and .953 SV% in two games (1-1-0). Despite a 2-0 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers, Demko is coming off a performance where he did everything but score for the Canucks, saving 40 of 42 shots. After a mediocre 2022-23 season where he finished with a 3.16 GAA and .901 SV%, Demko looks poised to rebound in a positive way. He will be put to the test again on Thursday as the Canucks are +113 road underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that is eager to get into the win column after losing three straight (0-2-1).
