Canucks: Thatcher Demko Misses Practice to Recover from Intense Schedule
The Vancouver Canucks' demanding start to the season is taking a toll on their goalies. To give Thatcher Demko extra rest, the team called up goalie Jiri Patera from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions.
Demko missed the practice on Friday at Rogers Arena, the day before the Canucks faced the Columbus Blue Jackets. With back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday against the Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche, there was uncertainty about Demko's readiness.
Demko has not played since Monday's game in Nashville, and with a day off on Thursday, concerns arose as he was absent from practice. Canucks head coach Adam Foote explained after practice:
“This is a case of a player who is in the midst of a very busy schedule needing some extra recovery time.”
This move reflects the physical demands on players amid a tough schedule and the team's efforts to manage player health carefully.
Summary
The Canucks are managing goalie Thatcher Demko’s workload amid a tough schedule by giving him extra rest and calling up Jiri Patera as backup.
