VANCOUVER — Casey DeSmith turned away 10 shots in relief and the Vancouver Canucks blanked the Winnipeg Jets 5-0 on Saturday.
The Canucks may have lost a key piece in the process, however, as all-star goalie Thatcher Demko left midway through the second period after stopping all 12 shots he faced.
Hoglander chipped a pass in from the boards and Suter, facing away from the net, swept it in to put Vancouver up 5-0 with less than five minutes to play. Heading into Saturday's matchup, Demko sat tied with Alexandar Georgiev of the Colorado Avalanche with 33 wins on the season, the most in the NHL. Hughes unleashed a blast from the point, hitting Conor Garland in the slot. The puck fell to Pettersson, who backhanded a shot in around Hellebuyck's outstretched skate 4:04 into the second.The Canucks took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission, thanks in part to Demko.
