Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Grounded in Philly

Demko turned aside 34 of 38 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

After a scoreless first period, the Canucks' defense began to fall apart in the second, giving Demko little support as the home side built a 3-0 lead before Vancouver got on the board. It was the first time Demko had allowed more than three goals in a start since Nov. 3, and in five outings since returning from a lower-body injury, he's gone 3-2-0 with a dazzling 1.82 GAA and .929 save percentage.
