Thatcher Demko - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Exits Saturday's game Demko (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Jets.

Impact Demko left midway through the second period after stopping all 12 shots sent his way over the first 26:40 of the game. The Canucks did not provide a reason for his exit, but it's not a good sign that it wasn't labeled as precautionary. They don't play again until Wednesday versus the Avalanche and have just two games in the next seven days, so fantasy managers may want to turn to other goalies until more is known about Demko's status.

Set to start Saturday Demko is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Demko has won his past two contests while saving 50 of 52 shots (.962 save percentage). He's 33-13-2 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 48 outings in 2023-24. The Jets, who rank 19-9-3 on the road, figure to be a challenging adversary.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps Golden Knights in check Demko stopped 27 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The Canucks opened up a 2-0 lead in the first period, and that was all Demko needed to get the win. It was the first time he's won consecutive games since he recorded three straight victories from Feb. 11-15. The 28-year-old hasn't been very consistent lately, but he's still one of the top goalies in the NHL. Demko is at 33-13-2 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 48 outings. The Canucks return home to face the Jets in a big Saturday showdown.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Thursday Demko is expected to tend the twine on the road against Vegas on Thursday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Demko had a tough run to end February, going 1-3-1 with a 3.41 GAA in his final five games of the month but bounced back with a 23-save victory over the Kings on Tuesday to kick off March. The netminder is tied with Alexandar Georgiev for the NHL wins lead (32), which should earn him a Vezina Trophy nomination even if Connor Hellebuyck is still considered the favorite.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Wins in overtime Demko stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Demko gave up five goals on 20 shots in his last outing, a loss against the Kings. The 28-year-old showed clear improvement, making some key saves in a much closer game that ultimately went in the Canucks' favor. Demko has won just two of his last seven outings, but he's still got a good 32-13-2 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 47 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Thursday in Vegas.

Starting in LA Demko will guard the road goal versus the Kings on Tuesday, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Demko struggled mightily in his last start Thursday versus LA, surrendering five goals on only 20 shots en route to an ugly 5-1 home defeat. The 28-year-old goaltender will try to shake off that poor performance and return to the win column in a road rematch with the same Kings squad Tuesday.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not good in Thursday's loss Demko stopped 15 of 20 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Kings on Thursday.

Impact This was the first time Demko's started five games in a row, but it looks like he's fading a bit. He's lost five of his last six outings, and this was his worst performance in that span. The skid has the 28-year-old down to 31-13-2 with a 2.55 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 46 starts. By total minutes, Demko trails only Alexandar Georgiev in the NHL this season, though Juuse Saros has made more starts (48). With Demko struggling, Casey DeSmith may be due a start soon, perhaps as early as Sunday's road game in Anaheim.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves ice first Thursday Demko was the first goalie to exit the ice Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus Los Angeles.

Impact Demko will be making his ninth appearance in the Canucks last 10 contests, having gone 4-3-1 with a 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage. The netminder is currently tied for the NHL lead in wins (31) with Colorado's Alexandar Georgiev and is among the favorites to take home the Vezina Trophy at the end of the season, especially with five shutouts under his belt.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Drops result in overtime Demko stopped 36 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Impact The Canucks saw leads of 2-0 and 3-2 slip away before Erik Karlsson won it for the Penguins in overtime. Demko has lost four of his last five outings, giving up 16 goals in that span. He's at 31-12-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 45 contests this season. The Canucks' current homestand ends Thursday against the struggling Kings, which could give Demko a chance to get back on track if he gets the start. However, he has not started more than four games in a row this season, and he's been between the pipes for the Canucks' last four contests.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Set to face Penguins Demko will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Pittsburgh, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Demko is coming off a 20-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston. He has posted a 31-12-1 record this season with five shutouts, a 2.47 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 44 games played. The Penguins rank 20th in the league this campaign with 2.98 goals per contest.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Earns OT win Demko stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Bruins.

Impact Demko found himself down 2-0 after the second period before the Canucks rallied to tie the game with a pair of goals in the final frame. Brock Boeser would then net the game-winner in overtime, ending Demko's losing skid at three. The 28-year-old netminder improved to 31-12-1 with a .917 save percentage and 2.47 GAA this season. Demko should be back between the pipes Tuesday at home against the Penguins.

Set to face Bruins Demko is expected to start at home against Boston on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact The Bruins are 34-12-12 this season, including 16-5-7 on the road, so they'll be a challenging adversary for Demko, especially given the goaltender's recent struggles. The netminder has lost his last three contests while allowing 10 goals on 84 shots (.881 save percentage). Demko is still having a strong campaign overall, though, posting a 30-12-1 record, 2.48 GAA and .917 save percentage through 43 appearances.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Loses in Seattle Demko allowed four goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Demko took a third straight loss Thursday, and he's allowed 10 goals during the skid. The 28-year-old allowed three of the goals during the second period. Demko is down to 30-12-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. He's still the Canucks' best option for winning games, so he'll likely get the nod at home versus the Bruins on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Demko is slated to start on the road against Seattle on Thursday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Impact Demko has a 30-11-1 record, 2.44 GAA and .918 save percentage in 42 contests this season. He's lost his last two starts despite saving 24 of 26 shots in a tough-luck 3-1 defeat to Colorado on Tuesday. The Kraken rank 28th offensively with just 2.73 goals per game, so they should be a favorable adversary for Demko.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Colorado Demko allowed two goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Demko was solid Tuesday, allowing just a pair of goals to Ryan Johansen, but the Canucks could only muster one goal of support in the defeat. Demko's now dropped back-to-back outings for the first time since October. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder is 30-11-1 with a .918 save percentage and 2.44 GAA this season. Demko will look to get back in the win column Thursday when the Canucks visit Seattle.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Between pipes Tuesday Demko will tend the twine on the road versus Colorado on Tuesday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Demko takes the second game of the Canucks' back-to-back after Casey DeSmith was shelled to the tune of eight goals allowed on 25 shots (.680 save percentage) by the Wild on Monday. For his part, the 28-year-old Demjo has allowed four goals in four of his last nine outings but still managed a 7-2-0 record over that stretch.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Bested by Jets Demko stopped 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact The first period was scoreless, and the teams exchanged a pair of goals each in the second period. Demko wasn't able to fend off the Jets' top line in the final frame, which resulted in him taking just his third loss in 2024. The 28-year-old is at 30-10-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 41 starts this season. Demko will likely start one of the next two games as the Canucks embark on a three-game road trip. They have a back-to-back with games Monday in Minnesota and Tuesday in Colorado.
