Demko backed up Casey Desmith in the Canucks previous game but will take over the starting job for the eighth time in the last 10 contests as he is expected to start Saturday vs. Seattle. The 27-year-old is off to an incredible bounce-back year so far in 2023-24, with his 8-3-0 record, .932 SV%, 2.04 GAA, and two shutouts. He will face Seattle, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory last game but are struggling to score as they are 29th in the NHL in goals per game (2.56).
