VANCOUVER — Thatcher Demko reminded onlookers why he's considered one of the NHL's top goalies on Tuesday.
Demko's most impressive sequence of the night came midway through the second period when he batted away Cale Makar's shot from the slot. Moments later, he slid all the way across his crease to kick away Artturi Lehkonen's backdoor shot with the toe of his left skate.“He was outstanding," said Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet.
The 29-year-old from San Diego, Cali., missed training camp and didn't play his first game of the season until Dec. 10. "Sometimes that's the challenging part as a player, is being able to have confidence and trust in yourself internally when you know externally, it might not look that way. So I know what direction I'm headed, and certainly tonight was a good game.”
