Why the Canucks should split starts evenly between Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen next season In 2023-24, Swayman and Ullmark rotated starts for the Bruins in a 109-point season. The Canucks should do the same with Demko and Lankinen.

Out for remainder of season Demko (illness) won't be in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports Sunday.
Impact After missing Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota, Demko won't play in Monday's home matchup against San Jose and Wednesday's home game versus Vegas. Kevin Lankinen and Nikita Tolopilo could split the final two games of the Canucks' season. Demko will conclude the 2024-25 campaign with a 10-8-3 record, one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 23 appearances.

Slated to miss Saturday's game Demko is expected to miss Saturday's home game against Minnesota because of an illness, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Impact Demko has a 10-8-3 record, 2.90 GAA and .889 save percentage in 23 appearances in 2024-25. His slated absence would explain why Vancouver summoned goaltender Nikita Tolopilo from AHL Abbotsford as an emergency recall. Vancouver hasn't announced who will start versus the Wild, but Tolopilo will likely serve as the understudy to Kevin Lankinen.

Kiefer Sherwood scored with 1:16 left in overtime after Pius Suter scored two of Vancouver’s three 6-on-5 goals in the final minute of regulation, and the Canucks made NHL history...APRIL 9 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wins ugly in overtime Demko stopped 23 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact In one of the more unusual finishes to a game this season, the Canucks fell behind 5-2 after giving up two goals in 24 seconds late in the third period. They then bounced all the way back with three goals in the final minute, followed by a Kiefer Sherwood tally in overtime to give Demko his fourth win in his last six outings despite the poor performance. For the season, Demko is up to 10-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Canucks' next game is another tough matchup in Colorado on Thursday.

Tending twine in Dallas Demko will patrol the road crease Tuesday versus the Stars, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet relays.
Impact Demko is 3-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and an .892 save percentage since returning from a lower-body injury March 24. Vancouver is all but eliminated from postseason contention, but if Demko can stay healthy for the team's remaining five games, he could set himself up for a bounce-back season in 2025-26. The 29-year-old was dealing with a knee injury last offseason, so a full summer of training would likely go a long way for Demko, who posted an outstanding 35-14-2 record in 2023-24. As for Tuesday's opponent, Dallas has dropped back-to-back games after winning seven straight.

Cruises to win Saturday Demko made 30 saves in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact The Canucks scored five times in the first period, taking most of the drama out of the result. Demko has shouldered a heavy workload since returning from a lower-body injury in late March, starting five of Vancouver's last six games and going 3-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .892 save percentage as the team tries to keep its rapidly fading playoff hopes alive.

Starting Saturday Demko will guard the home net Saturday against the Ducks, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Impact Demko is looking to bounce back from a brought outing against Seattle in his last start, where he allowed four goals on 18 shots. The 29-year-old netminder is 2-2-0 with an .878 save percentage in four games since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list. Demko will face a Ducks team that's averaging 2.69 goals per game.

Brutal showing in loss Demko allowed four goals on 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact This was essentially a must-win game for the Canucks, but the whole team fell flat. Demko is now 2-2-0 with 12 goals allowed over his last four outings since returning from a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old is 8-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 21 starts this season. The Canucks aren't mathematically out of the playoff race yet, but they're eight points back with one game in hand after this contest. Demko could be rested once they're eliminated, as he's had a rough season between poor performance and injuries. He'll likely start one of the next two games as the Canucks host the Ducks on Saturday and the Golden Knights on Sunday.
APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to start Wednesday Demko is slated to start at home against Seattle on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Impact Demko has an 8-7-3 record, 2.84 GAA and .892 save percentage in 20 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 24 of 27 shots en route to a 3-1 loss to Winnipeg on Sunday. Seattle ranks 16th in goals per game with 2.97.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Gives up three goals Sunday Demko stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Winnipeg.
Impact Demko suffered a defeat for the first time since Jan. 31, when he allowed three goals on 14 shots in a loss to the Stars. The 29-year-old goaltender missed 15 straight games between Feb. 22 and March 22 due to a lower-body injury, but he's expected to remain as the Canucks' starting netminder now that he's back to full fitness. He's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.66 GAA and a .900 save percentage in his last three starts.

Between pipes against Winnipeg Demko will defend the road net versus the Jets on Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Impact Demko has won his last two outings, stopping 48 of 53 shots. He has posted a record of 8-6-3 with one shutout, a 2.82 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

Picks up second straight win Demko made 26 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Impact The 29-year-old netminder has started two straight games since returning from a lower-body injury that had sidelined him since the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he's won them both. The Canucks sit three points back of the Blues in the race for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and if Demko is healthy and back in something close to peak form, he should see a heavy workload over the final weeks of the season.
