Vancouver Canucks News

The Canucks have signed Thatcher Demko to a five-year contract extension worth $25.0 million ($5.0M AAV).

After a rocky start to the season, Demko has settled in as one of the best goalies in the NHL. In the month of March, Demko was tied for third in the NHL in wins (8), eighth in SV% (.937) and tied for 11th in GAA (2.15). Demko has proven he is the goaltender of the future in Vancouver and earned a nice five-year extension, which kicks in next year.

Blueger is expected to be out 'longer-term' with an upper-body injury.

Blueger missed Tuesday's game vs. the Bruins and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time with an upper-body injury. Evgeni Malkin was knocked out of that game on Tuesday, which could put a real strain on the Penguins' centre depth on Thursday.
