Ascends to active roster Graovac was promoted to Vancouver's active roster Wednesday.
Inks five-year deal Demko secured a five-year, $25 million contract extension with Vancouver on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Demko appeared in 10 of the club's last 11 contests in which he posted a 7-3-0 record and 2.36 GAA, though he did give up four goals in each of his previous two outings. While it was expected Demko would be the netminder of the future for Vancouver, his long-term extension all but cements him as the team's No. 1 moving forward.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Gaudette tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and has entered the NHL's virus protocols.
Impact Players who have tested positive this season have generally been sidelined long term, so Gaudette should be considered out indefinitely at this point.

Miller will continue to center the second line until Pettersson returns. Pettersson put up 21 points through 26 games before this injury.
