Earns third shutout of season Demko posted a 36-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact Demko collected his third straight win as well as his third shutout of the season with a dominant performance. The 28-year-old has allowed just four goals during his winning streak. After a middling stretch around late November and early December, Demko is back on track as the Canucks' primary goalie. He's at a 15-7-0 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 22 starts. The Canucks have a back-to-back on tap this weekend, visiting the Wild on Saturday and the Blackhawks on Sunday, so Demko and Casey DeSmith will likely split the next two games.

Keeps Lightning from striking twice Demko stopped 28 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Impact Brayden Point opened the scoring 1:25 into the game, but Demko kept the Lightning from getting a second goal. After he allowed 16 goals over his previous four games, this was a welcome sight for Demko's fantasy managers and Canucks fans alike. The 28-year-old improved to 14-7-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 21 starts this season. The Panthers pay a visit Thursday for the last game of the Canucks' five-game homestand.

Guarding goal Tuesday Demko will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Demko is coming off a 21-save effort in Saturday's 4-3 win over Carolina. He has earned a mark of 13-7-0 this season with two shutouts, a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 20 appearances. The Lightning rank 12th in the league this campaign with 3.28 goals per contest.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues alternating results Demko stopped 21 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Demko has not had a winning streak of more than two games since a six-gamer from Oct. 24-Nov. 6. He's alternated wins and losses over his last five outings, and while he wasn't particularly sharp Saturday, he was good enough to get the victory with some help from his offense. The 28-year-old netminder is now at 13-7-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 starts. The Canucks close their homestand with a couple of challenging opponents -- they're set to host the Lightning on Tuesday and the Panthers on Thursday.

Guarding goal Saturday Demko will protect the home net Saturday against Carolina, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Demko was lit up for six goals on 32 shots in a 6-5 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday. He has supplied a 12-7-0 record this season with a 2.46 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 19 starts. Carolina ranks first in the league with 34.6 shots per game, scoring 84 times over 26 contests this campaign.

Gives up six goals to Devils Demko surrendered six goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Devils.

Impact Demko gave up four goals in the first period, but head coach Rick Tocchet kept the 27-year-old between the pipes for the full contest. This was the fifth time in 10 games Demko has allowed four or more goals. The American netminder is now at 12-7-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 19 starts. The Canucks have a slightly easier matchup versus the Wild on Thursday, though Demko's wildly inconsistent play of late makes it tough to trust him.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First goalie off Tuesday Demko was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Devils.

Impact Demko has been widely inconsistent of late, going 4-3-0 in his last seven contests while posting three one-goal games and a trio of four-goal outings. Still, the 27-year-old San Diego native is sporting a career-best 2.26 GAA through the opening 18 games of the season.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three goals in win Demko allowed three goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Demko had an excellent start going until Elias Lindholm scored twice over the final five minutes of the game. Nonetheless, Demko earned his fourth win in his last six outings, though this was the first time he's given up multiple goals in a win since Nov. 15. The 27-year-old netminder has a 12-6-0 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .924 save percentage over 18 starts this season. The Canucks' next game is at home against the Devils.

Tending twine versus Flames Demko will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Saturday, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports.

Impact Demko faced a barrage in his start Thursday versus Vegas, giving up four goals on 44 shots in a loss. He's had mixed results lately with a 2.88 GAA and a .901 save percentage over his last eight games, though some regression was expected after his stellar first month of the season. The Flames have won five of their last eight games, including a victory over the Canucks -- with Casey DeSmith in goal -- on Nov. 16.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Under siege against Vegas Demko stopped 40 of 44 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Vegas doubled up Vancouver in shots, and Demko wasn't able to be the difference in this contest. He's allowed 15 goals over his last six games, giving up exactly four goals in each of his three losses in that span. The American netminder slipped to 11-6-0 with a 2.22 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 17 contests. The Canucks' next game is in Calgary on Saturday.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In goal against Knights Demko will get the starting nod at home versus Vegas on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Demko has been performing well lately with a 3-1-0 record and 1.75 GAA in his last four contests. Historically, the netminder has struggled against the Golden Knights, going 2-3-1 with a .891 save percentage and 3.71 GAA in seven career matchups. Still, Demko is sporting career-best numbers in GAA (2.10) and save percentage (.928) this season and will look to keep rolling Thursday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win over Ducks Demko stopped 30 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Demko was under pressure for much of the first two periods, but he kept the Canucks in control until they responded in the third. This was the 27-year-old's second win in a row, something he hadn't done since his six-game winning streak form Oct. 24-Nov. 6. The American netminder is up to an 11-5-0 record with a 2.10 GAA and a .928 save percentage through 16 starts. Those ratios are by far the best in his career, but the Canucks are playing good hockey to make life easier on Demko between the pipes. A tough matchup versus the Golden Knights on Thursday is next on the schedule.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Tuesday Demko was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he will start Monday's home game against Anaheim.

Impact Demko is coming off a 23-save effort in Friday's 5-1 win over Seattle. In 15 games this campaign, he has posted a 10-5-0 record with two shutouts, a 2.18 GAA and a .925 save percentage. The Ducks sit 27th in the league this season with 2.76 goals per contest.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Seattle Demko stopped 23 of 24 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact The Kraken didn't offer much of a challenge, and Demko turned aside all shots except Tye Kartye's goal in the second period. This was Demko's first win over the Kraken this season -- he allowed four goals on 26 shots in a loss last Saturday at home. The 27-year-old goalie is up to 10-5-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 15 starts. He'll likely get Saturday off with the Canucks visiting the Sharks, so Demko's next outing is likely to be at home Tuesday versus the Ducks.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding cage Friday Demko will get the starting nod in Seattle on Friday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Impact Demko has struggled over his last five starts, registering a 3.41 GAA and an .872 save percentage while going 2-3-0 during that span. Prior to that, he had rattled off six consecutive wins. For the season, he's 9-5-0 with a strong 2.26 GAA and .923 save percentage across 14 appearances.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Surrenders four goals in loss Demko gave up four goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact It was an even game through two periods, but Riley Tufte and Cale Makar tallied against Demko in the third and the Canucks' offense went quiet. This is Demko's third loss in his last four outings, and he's given up four goals in each of those defeats. He's now at a 9-5-0 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .923 save percentage over 14 starts. It's possibly a little regression from his hot start to the season, but the 27-year-old remains a strong play, especially for his next start against either the Kraken on Friday or the Sharks on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Demko will protect the road goal versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Demko was sharp in a win over the Sharks on Monday, stopping 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 win. Demko didn't play against the Avalanche last year, so he'll be facing one of his toughest assignments of the 2023-24 campaign with little recent exposure to the opponent.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cruises to ninth win Demko stopped 27 of 28 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Demko's shutout bid was broken up by a Tomas Hertl goal early in the third period. After allowing 12 goals over his previous three outings, Demko was sharp against a weak offense to get his play back on track. He's up to 9-4-0 with a 2.12 GAA and a .929 save percentage through 13 starts. This was the first time he'd started consecutive contests since Nov. 4-6, though a pair of back-to-backs in that stretch likely played a part in the workload distribution. The Canucks begin a three-game road trip in Colorado on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves ice first Monday Demko was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll patrol the blue paint against the Sharks at home.

Impact Demko has been struggling of late, going 1-2-0 in his last three outings with a 4.00 GAA. The netminder's slump follows a six-game winning streak during which he posted a pair of shutouts. Interestingly, Demko's recent dip in form comes as he finds himself sharing every other start with Casey DeSmith over the last six games, so perhaps the coaching staff should stop rotating the duo and let Demko see the bulk of the workload.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yields four goals in loss Demko stopped 22 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Demko had some big saves, but the Canucks were uncharacteristically loose -- a bad line change, an odd deflection and a turnover led to three of the Kraken's goals. This was Demko's second loss over six appearances in November. He's now at 8-4-0 with a 2.22 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Casey DeSmith has seen more time of late thanks to back-to-backs, but the Canucks don't have games on consecutive days until Friday and Saturday in Seattle and San Jose, respectively.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Saturday Demko was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice and will defend the home crease versus Seattle on Saturday, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Demko is having an outstanding season as he is 8-3-0 with a sizzling 2.04 GAA and an eye-popping .932 save percentage. He has won seven of his last eight games and was sensational, save for a 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in which he made only 17 saves. Demko will face the Kraken, who are struggling to find the back of the net as they are 29th in NHL scoring with 46 goals in 18 games.
