With Thatcher Demko already out, the Vancouver Canucks have suffered another injury to a goaltender, with Casey DeSmith expected to miss Game 4 against the Nashville Predators.
According to multiple reports, Casey DeSmith has suffered an injury and is not available for the Vancouver Canucks in Game 4.
While DeSmith was hit behind the net in Game 3 by Michael McCarron, this injury is unrelated to that collision, according to ChekTV's Rick Dhaliwal. According to The Fourth Period's Irfaan Gaffar, DeSmith could return for Game 5, as the injury is not a major one. Fortunately, the 23-year-old Silovs has plenty of experience in high-pressure games. Silovs has made two appearances at the World Hockey Championship with his home country of Latvia, with a combined .929 save percentage across 14 games. That includes a fantastic four-game run after stepping in for the struggling Elvis Merzlikins in 2022.
