Vancouver Canucks’ Thatcher Demko leaves game with a lower-body injury
Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko was helped off the ice late in the first period against the Florida Panthers after sustaining an apparent lower-body injury. Demko was helped off the ice by training staff following the Panthers’ third goal in less than a minute. Demko made a flurry of saves and stretched out to stop a shot from Panthers’ forward Patric Hornqvist when he seemed to strain his hamstring.
Oakville, Ontario, product Spencer Martin took over between the pipes following Demko’s injury. Martin was stellar last season with the Abbotsford Canucks in the AHL. He held a 2.43 GAA and .914 SV% through 25 games. This season with Vancouver, he has posted a 3.23 GAA and .902 SV% to go along with a record of 6-2-1.
