Thatcher Demko's injury should see him return before the start of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Vancouver Canucks will be without their All-Star starter for the next two to four weeks; in his place, they’ve called up the World Championship MVP.

Even if Demko misses the full four weeks, he would return to the Canucks lineup two weeks before the start of the playoffs, with time to get back into his groove with five games remaining in the regular season. DeSmith will be backed up by Arturs Silovs, who was called up from the Abbotsford Canucks in the AHL on Tuesday.

In addition, Silovs took a starring role for Latvia at the 2023 World Championships, backstopping his country to a bronze medal — their first-ever medal in IIHF competition. Silovs was incredible in net for Latvia, posting a .921 save percentage across ten games. For his heroics, Silovs was named tournament MVP.
