Apr 23, 2024 | 11:24 AM

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks will be without all-star goalie Thatcher Demko when they face the Nashville Predators in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

Coach Rick Tocchet says Demko is “day-to-day” and will be evaluated later today. 

He will be replaced in net by back-up Casey DeSmith.

Demko, 28, stopped 20 shots for the Canucks in a 4-2 Game 1 victory on Sunday. 

Demko missed a month after suffering a knee injury on March 9, but returned for Vancouver’s two final games of the regular season and finished the campaign a 35-14-2 record, a .918 save percentage and five shutouts.
