Jacob Markstrom News
Markstrom underwent a minor lower-body procedure on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Markstrom's original timetable was 3-to-4 weeks and that could still be the case. Vancouver will likely release another update after he is re-evaluated in two weeks. Thatcher Demko will be the Canucks' starter until further notice, suggesting he could start the next eight-to-nine games in a row (with two back-to-backs).
