2024 NHL playoffs: Canucks' Thatcher Demko will reportedly miss Game 2 against Predators
Demko's status for the remainder of the series is reportedly in question
By Chris Bengel • 1 min readThe Vancouver Canucks will be without their starting goaltender for Game 2 of their opening-round series. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Game 2 against the Nashville Predators due to injury, and his status is questionable for the remainder of the series.
Demko stopped 20 of the 22 shots that he faced in Sunday's 4-2 Game 1 victory. The veteran netminder didn't practice on Monday and didn't speak to the media following Game 1.
The Canucks goaltender recently returned to the ice after missing time due to a knee injury. He did start two games before the regular season came to a close and yielded four goals in two games.
