Despite a horrific 2024-25 campaign, Thatcher Demko will remain a Canuck for at least three more seasons after signing a three-year deal worth $8.5M AAV ($25.5M total). The 29-year-old is entering his ninth NHL season and will hope for a bounce-back season after battling knee injuries throughout the last two seasons. In 23 appearances in 2024-25, he was 10-8-3 with a 2.90 GAA and .889 SV%.

The 29-year-old Demko has a 2.86 GAA and .891 SV% through 22 games this season (9-8-3). The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as +172 road underdogs against a Stars team amid a two-game losing skid (0-1-1).

With Demko (lower body) activated from Injured Reserve, he will make his first start between the pipes since February 8th. The 29-year-old Demko has been limited to only 17 games this season due to various injuries, posting a 2.87 GAA and .891 SV% in 17 games (6-6-3).

Demko will make his 16th start of the season when the Canucks travel to San Jose to take on the Sharks on Thursday. Demko enjoyed his best start of the season in his last outing, stopping all 25 shots he faced in a 3-0 victory over the Avalanche.
