Demko will return to the crease for the second straight game as the Canucks look to snap a three-game losing skid where they have been outscored 17-10. That said, the California-born netminder played well in a 3-1 losing effort on Tuesday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%). The Canucks are -126 road favourites in a tilt against their division rivals, the Seattle Kraken.

After witnessing his team give up 10 goals as the backup in a 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Wild yesterday, the Canucks will turn to their starting goalie Demko on Tuesday night. Demko saw his three-game winning streak end in his last outing, giving up four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Canucks face off against the Colorado Avalanche as +126 road underdogs in a battle of Western Conference heavyweights. Demko tended the twine against the Avalanche on November 22nd and allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-2 loss.
Demko will start for the third straight game on Thursday, attempting to extend his two-game winning streak. Demko has been stellar in his last two games (2-0-0), saving 52 of 56 shots (.928 SV%) and has limited the opposition to two or fewer goals in six of his last nine contests (8-1-0). The Canucks are -181 home favourites, looking for revenge against a Detroit Red Wings club that defeated them 4-3 in overtime less than a week ago.
Demko was excellent his last time out, stopping 31 of the 33 shots he faced in a 3-2 overtime victory in Washington on Sunday. The 28-year-old netminder is in the midst of an outstanding season with the Canucks, posting a .919 SV% and 2.45 GAA to go along with a league-leading tally of 28 wins. He's a safe bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday, with the Canucks being favoured at -260 to pick up the victory in Chicago over the lowly Blackhawks.
Demko returns to the crease on Thursday as he attempts to extend his nine-game winning streak. On Tuesday, Demko was excellent, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. The California-born netminder is putting together a Vezina-calibre season with a 2.43 GAA, .920 SV%, and five shutouts through 36 games (27-8-1). The Canucks enter Thursday's matchup against the Boston Bruins as +120 road underdogs.
Demko returns from Toronto after making his second career All-Star appearance over the weekend and will take over the crease Tuesday in Carolina. The 28-year-old deservedly earned his All-Star nod after posting an impressive 26-8-1 record, 2.44 GAA, .920 SV% and five shutouts in the first half of the season. He will take on the red-hot Carolina Hurricanes, who have won 11 of their last 14 games and are currently 10th in the NHL in goals per game (3.38).

During his six-game winning streak, Demko has allowed three or more goals four times but has salvaged a stellar .923 SV%.

Demko did not play on Tuesday, the back end of a back-to-back, a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders, but will return to the crease on Thursday in search of his third straight win. Demko has been unspectacular lately, allowing three or more goals in six of his last seven games, but his .898 SV% in that stretch has been enough to salvage a 5-1-1 record. The Canucks are +113 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that handily defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in their last game.
