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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: 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.
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.

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Tending twine versus Flames
Demko will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Saturday, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports.
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 contests, including a victory over the Canucks -- with Casey DeSmith in goal -- on Nov. 16.

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: In goal against Knights
Demko will get the starting nod at home versus Vegas on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
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 an .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, so he may fare better this time around.

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: 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.
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.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Sharp in Seattle
Demko stopped 23 of 24 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
The Kraken didn't offer much of a challenge, and Demko turned aside all of the team's 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.

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: 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.
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.

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

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: 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.
Demko has been struggling of late, going 1-2-0 with 12 goals allowed over his last three outings. 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. It's possible Demko would benefit from a heavier workload to allow him to get in a groove.

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

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: 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.
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.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Wins in overtime
Demko stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
Demko gave up a pair of power-play goals in the first period and an even-strength tally in the second, but the Canucks were able to pull off the comeback win. This was just the third time in 11 outings that Demko's given up at least three goals, though it's happened in each of his last two starts. He's up to 8-3-0 with a 2.04 GAA and a .932 save percentage. He'll likely watch from the bench Thursday as the Canucks visit the Flames, with Casey DeSmith expected to get the start.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Expected to start Wednesday
Demko is set to start in Wednesday's home game versus the Islanders, per Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News.
Demko has a 7-3-0 record, 1.96 GAA and .935 save percentage in 10 contests this campaign. As dominant as he's been, Demko struggled in his last start Saturday, allowing five goals on 22 shots in a loss to Toronto. The Islanders are tied for 30th offensively with 2.36 goals per game, so this should be a good opportunity for the goaltender to rebound.
