Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Leaves ice first MondayNovember 20, 2023 | 11:05 AM

Demko was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll patrol the blue paint against the Sharks at home. Demko has been struggling of late, going 1-2-0 in his last three outings with a 4.00 GAA. The netminder's slump follows a six-game winning streak during which he posted a pair of shutouts. Interestingly, Demko's recent dip in form comes as he finds himself sharing every other start with Casey DeSmith over the last six games, so perhaps the coaching staff should stop rotating the duo and let Demko see the bulk of the workload.
