Canucks Live Update: Thatcher Demko Out, Lankinen Starting Tonight

The Vancouver Canucks are back on the ice tonight at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Key news revolves around goaltender Thatcher Demko, who will not be playing this evening.

Thatcher Demko's Status

Demko has not played since last Monday. He participated in Wednesday morning's skate and served as backup that night. The team had an off-day Thursday, and on Saturday, head coach Adam Foote confirmed Demko would not play in that game. His availability for Sunday's home game against the Colorado Avalanche remains uncertain.

“Demko was told this summer that if he felt he needed a day off, he must say so, especially with the NHL schedule this season crazier than ever.”
