Demko will start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

Demko allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It looks like Demko will make his fourth straight start tonight and he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .903 SV% in six starts since Jacob Markstrom got hurt. Tonight he'll face an Islanders team that has lost six straight (0-3-3) while averring just 2.00 goals per game.

Myers (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Myers missed Tuesday's practice but was on the ice for the morning skate, so there's a chance he plays tonight vs. the Coyotes. Myers is officially a game-time decision, so monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 10:00 PM ET.

Demko will start Wednesday vs. the Coyotes.

Demko allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Canucks’ loss in Toronto last Saturday. Since Jacob Markstrom got hurt, Demko has gone 1-2-0 while allowing 10 goals on 83 shots (.892 SV%). He’s got a nice matchup vs. an Arizona team that is 1-9-1 while scoring just 1.55 goals per game in their last 11 road games.

Demko will start Thursday in Ottawa.

Demko allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Canucks overtime win in Montreal on Tuesday. It was an outstanding game for Demko, who will likely start every game until Jacob Markstrom is back in a minimum of two weeks. Demko has gone 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .904 SV% on the road this year but is a terrific option tonight in Ottawa.

Demko will start Tuesday in Montreal.

Demko allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Canucks loss to the Ducks on February 16th. With Jacob Markstrom hurt, Demko will start tonight in Montreal and will look to snap his two-game losing streak. The 24-year-old is 3-5-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .902 SV% on the road this season and Montreal comes in having lost five of their last seven (2-4-1).

The Ducks have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from San Diego (AHL).

Sherwood has been called up on a number of occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Ducks. He has played 50 career NHL games to-date and has 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 AHL games this season. He could replace a potential trade chip like Derek Grant in their last game before the deadline.
