Hronek was traded to the Canucks nearly a month ago and is expected to make his Vancouver debut Thursday as he is recovered from a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old has played very well when healthy this season, with nine goals, 29 assists, 122 SOG, 34 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 60 games this season.
Demko stopped 38 of 40 shots (.950 SV%) for his fifth win in six games as he beat Los Angeles in his previous start. The 27-year-old has slowly improved his season numbers after a horrific start to 2022-23, leading to his 9-12-2 record, 3.32 GAA and .898 SV%. He will face the Vegas Golden Knights, who have won five of their last six games after a 7-2 win over Columbus last game.

Patera was excellent in his short two-game showing with the Vegas Golden Knights, going 2-0-0 with a .929 SV% and 2.50 GAA but has been reassigned to Henderson (AHL) Monday. The 24-year-old returns to the Silver Knights, where he was 12-13-1, with a .916 SV% and a 2.66 GAA.
Petterson left the Penguins' previous game vs. the New York Rangers after just 12:41 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the long-term injured reserve retroactive to March 18th. It is a big loss for the Penguins, as the 26-year-old has a goal, 23 assists, 95 SOG, 58 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 67 games played prior to the injury.
Pettersson is being evaluated for a lower-body injury that he suffered in Saturday's loss in New York. The Penguins are already down Jeff Petry, Jan Rutta, and Dmitry Kulikov on the blueline, so they will likely need to recall another defenseman if Pettersson is unavailable.
Forbort had an MRI on Friday on his undisclosed injury and is not expected to be in the lineup for either of the Bruins' games this weekend. The 31-year-old has five goals, seven assists, 38 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 54 games this season.
Demko allowed two goals on 27 shots (.926 SV%) for his fourth-straight victory as he beat Dallas in his previous start. The 27-year-old has been incredible as of late, which has turned his season numbers around, proven by his 8-11-2 record, 3.41 GAA and .895 SV%. He takes on the Arizona Coyotes, who have surprisingly won four of their last five games after a 4-3 overtime win over Calgary last game.
Joseph has been a healthy scratch for the previous three games but will draw back into the Penguins lineup Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 23-year-old has four goals, 17 points, 84 SOG, 38 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 59 games played this season.
