Availability
Thatcher Demko struggled in net for the Canucks Thursday night, allowing four goals on 25 shots faced in a 4-0 loss to the Bruins.
Fantasy Impact
Demko has fought consistency issues in net of late, allowing three or more goals in six of his last 10 starts (9-1-0) for the Canucks. The netminder has been picked up by a dynamic Vancouver offensive attack under head coach Rick Tocchet when the 28-year-old is not at his best, carrying a 2.47 GAA and .918 save percentage to go along with five shutouts in 37 appearances (27-9-1) so far this season.
Thatcher Demko escaped with a win between the pipes Thursday night, allowing four goals on 36 shots faced in a 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Fantasy Impact
Demko continues his shaky start in between the pipes for the Canucks, allowing three or more goals in seven consecutive starts to begin the season for the club. The 26-year-old has been an early disappointment for fantasy owners to start the season, posting an .874 save percentage and 4.05 GAA in seven starts (1-5-1) so far this season.
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will start Thursday versus the Seattle Kraken.
Fantasy Impact
It's been an outright disaster so far for a Canucks team that's winless in seven games and Demko has been no exception. Despite little help in front of him, Demko's still the owner of a 4.06 GAA and .872 Sv% on the season, going 0-5-1 in six starts. He'll continue to see a big workload with the Canucks but his fantasy value has cratered in short order.
Thatcher Demko struggled in net once again for the Canucks Monday night, allowing six goals on 30 shots faced in a 6-4 loss to the Capitals.
Fantasy Impact
Demko has struggled to begin the season in net for the Canucks, allowing three or more goals in each of his three starts between the pipes for the club. The 26-year-old is coming off an impressive 2021-22 campaign that saw the netminder pick up 33 wins while posting a 2.72 GAA and .915 save percentage in 61 starts. Demko will look to turn his early season struggles around for the Canucks, posting a less than desirable .847 save percentage and 4.48 GAA in three starts to begin the season.
Thatcher Demko struggled between the pipes for the Canucks Wednesday, allowing four goals on 24 shots faced in a 5-3 loss to the Oilers.
Fantasy Impact
Demko was unable to turn back an attacking Oilers team Wednesday night, finishing with an .833 save percentage. The 26-year-old netminder should be a lock for 30 wins for a Canucks team with hopes of a postseason berth.
