Demko will start vs. Seattle on Wednesday.

The Canucks have lost two straight (0-1-1) and are desperate for a win as their hopes for a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference begin to dwindle. The 29-year-old Demko allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. He has a 2.84 GAA and .892 SV% in 20 appearances this season (8-7-3). The Canucks enter Wednesday's contest as -155 home favorites against a Seattle Kraken team that defeated them 6-3 on March 1st.

Chytil (concussion) is unlikely to return this season.

Chytil joined Vancouver via trade in February but unfortunately will likely end his campaign with six points (2G / 4A) through 15 games with the club. The 25-year-old Chytil has battled concussion concers over the past few seasons, a trend that has unfortunately followed him to his new team.

Pettersson (upper-body) missed practice on Tuesday and is considered day-to-day.

Pettersson has missed four straight games and did not practice on Tuesday but remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. After a mostly disappointing 2024-25 campaign with 35 points (11G / 24A) in his first 55 games, Pettersson was finally starting to produce with the elite ability he's shown in recent seasons, with 10 points (4G / 6A) in the nine games before his injury. Pius Suter has stepped up in Pettersson's absence with eight points (2G / 6A) during a four-game point streak.
