Thatcher Demko - Facing 2-3 week absence Demko (undisclosed) is expected to miss 2-3 weeks, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Monday.
Impact Demko figures to be out of the lineup for at least the Canucks' next six contests, though it could certainly be longer. With the netminder on the shelf, Casey DeSmith figures to see a heavy workload while the team will need to promote a goalie from AHL Abbotsford. For his part, Demko has already set a new career high with 34 wins but may not be able to reach 40 as a result of this absence.

Thatcher Demko - Set to miss time Demko (undisclosed) is expected to miss some games, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television reports Monday.
Impact The severity of Demko's injury hasn't been disclosed by the team yet, but at a minimum, it seems he won't be an option against Colorado on Wednesday or Washington on Saturday. The -year-old netminder was riding a three-game winning streak prior to getting hurt, including stopping all 12 shots before he was pulled from Saturday's clash with Winnipeg. With Demko on the shelf, Casey DeSmith figures to get some extra looks between the pipes.

Impact Blueger's helper snapped a six-game point drought for the center, who has yet to score a goal while earning 11 assists over 30 games in 2024. He set up Phil Di Giuseppe's tally late in the first period of Saturday's lopsided win. Blueger is up to 24 points -- four off his career high -- with 77 shots on net, 75 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 52 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Impact Hughes has points in four straight games, earning a goal and five assists in that span.

The defenseman has added 160 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-36 rating. He could challenge for the 90-point mark if he can sustain his season-long pace.

Di Giuseppe has five goals, five assists, 50 shots on net, 82 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 46 appearances this season.

Impact Miller opened the scoring at 2:05 of the first period. The 30-year-old saw an eight-game point streak end versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, but he avoided a third instance of going multiple games without a point by scoring early.

Impact Suter set up Nils Hoglander at 13:47 of the first period and then put the icing on the cake with a goal of his own in the third. The goal was Suter's first since his Jan. 24 hat trick versus the Blues, but he had a solid eight helpers over the 17 games between tallies. The 27-year-old is up to 13 goals, 13 assists, 83 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-18 rating over 52 appearances. Suter could draw some fantasy interest in deeper formats as long as he's seeing time on the top line at even strength.

Miller tally early in the first period before hitting the 20-goal mark with his own marker later in the frame. Hoglander also crossed the 30-point threshold for the first time in his career -- he has 31 through 64 appearances. He's added 97 shots on net, 64 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-18 rating while seeing even-strength minutes on the top line.

Impact This was Pettersson's first multi-point effort since Feb. 15. He's picked up six points over his last seven outings and has a power-play point in each of the last two games as he gets his offense back on track. The 25-year-old star has 31 goals, 79 points (28 on the power play), 175 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-18 rating through 66 appearances this season.

Casey DeSmith - Steady in relief DeSmith stopped all 10 shots he faced in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Jets.
Impact Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) left in the second period, and DeSmith was able to finish off the combined shutout. The win will go to Demko, while DeSmith has now stopped 27 of the last 28 shots he's faced over two outings since his Feb. 19 disaster of a start in Minnesota. The 32-year-old netminder is 8-4-5 with a 2.85 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 19 appearances. If Demko misses time, DeSmith will be in line for a larger role, though the Canucks have just two games over the next seven days.
