Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Nashville Predators due to an undisclosed injury.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Game Two of their playoff series against the Nashville Predators due to injury. The extent of Demko’s injury is unknown, but his absence is a significant blow to the Canucks, who rely heavily on his strong play. Demko was one of the front-runners for the Vezina Trophy this season and his injury leaves the Canucks with a less experienced goaltending tandem of Casey DeSmith and Arturs Silovs. The Predators now have a clear advantage in net, but the Canucks’ structured defensive play could help mitigate that. However, they will need to find a way to generate more offense without Demko in their lineup.
