What we know so far about Thatcher Demko’s injury ahead of Game 2
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman joined Canucks Talk to discuss what he knows about Thatcher Demko’s mysterious injury after Game 1, that will keep him out of Game 2 vs. the Predators, why we think it’s a new injury, but timeline is not currently known.
Hours after the news broke that the Vancouver Canucks will be without starting goaltender Thatcher Demko for Game 2 and possibly longer, the Canucks are down one more man.
Defenceman Tyler Myers did not participate in the pre-game warmup skate and was listed as a scratch prior to puck drop against the Nashville Predators, per the NHL’s roster report.
Noah Juulsen replaced him on the second pairing, alongside Carson Soucy.
Myers, 34, logged 19:08 in Game 1 and was a plus-one on the evening.
The six-foot-four defenceman has, like most of the Canucks, enjoyed a bounce-back season on both ends of the ice, improving to plus-16 on the year while potting 29 points — both measures significantly higher than the minus-16, 17-point season in 2022-23.
The shorthanded Canucks look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Predators at Rogers Arena. Watch all the action on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ with coverage starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
