Myers (lower body) will not return on Wednesday vs. Edmonton but is expected back on Saturday instead.

Myers has been out since February 29th due to a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is expected to return on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The 34-year-old towering defender will make a welcome return as he has enjoyed a strong fifth season in Vancouver with four goals, 23 points, 67 SOG, 63 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 62 games played before his injury.

Demko (knee) is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

Demko exited Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in the second period with a knee injury and did not return to the contest. While further evaluations have ensured it is not a long-term injury, Demko is expected to miss several games as his initial prognosis is 2-3 weeks. Expect Case DeSmith to tend the twine in Demko's absence.

Demko will start in Vegas on Thursday.

The Canucks will turn to Demko between the pipes on Thursday in a heated divisional matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Demko has been inconsistent lately, winning only two of his last seven starts, but he was tremendous in his last outing, saving 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks enter action as slight +102 road underdogs.

Forbort (undisclosed) will be out on Thursday vs. Toronto but is only considered day-to-day.

Forbort has missed the last two games and will miss a third on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs due to an undisclosed ailment. Forbort last played in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders, recording two shots and two hits in 19:27 time-on-ice.

Demko will start on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.

Demko had the night off in the last game for the Canucks, a 2-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks, but will return to the crease in a divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. Demko has lost five of his last six, allowing four or more goals three times and posting an ugly .876 SV%. The Canucks enter action with even -105 odds on the road against a Kings club that defeated them 5-1 less than a week ago.
