The Vancouver Canucks' starting goaltender is dealing with an injury that could bother him for the entire season.
If the Vancouver Canucks are going to repeat the success they had last season this year, they need their goaltending duo to be elite. Thatcher Demko, the American-born goaltender, is the patroller of the crease in Vancouver, with Arturs Silovs expected to play a larger role this year.
The Canucks are just weeks away, and it's possible they are without their top goaltender to begin the season. Speaking about the Canucks' season outlook on his, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman said Demko's injury isn't going to go away through any medical intervention. From what he's heard, this could be an injury that Demko must learn to deal with and play through.
He might not be ready for the beginning of the season, but the Canucks are hopeful he can be back sooner than later. Friedman stated that while he may miss some time, the team doesn't expect it to be long-term.
