VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks will be without all-star goalie Thatcher Demko when they face the Nashville Predators in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series Tuesday.
Coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old netminder is going to be evaluated later Tuesday and is"day-to-day."
“It might have been in the game, but I'm not quite sure because he skated yesterday," he said."I don't know the exact timeline. That's why I don't want to speculate whether it's this time or whatever.” “It sucks. He works harder than anybody on a day-to-day basis when he's not injured, let alone when he's trying to get back in for stuff like this. So you feel for the guy," he said.
