Demko will look to build on the best start of his career on Monday as he will be the Canucks' starting goalie against the Edmonton Oilers. Demko is coming off a 27-save, 2-0 shutout victory over the Dallas Stars, his second shutout of the season, a career-high already. Through eight games (6-2-0), Demko has a gaudy 1.55 GAA and .947 SV%, trailing only Jeremy Swayman of the Boston Bruins in both categories among goalies that have started at least four games. The Canucks are slight -101 home underdogs against an Oilers team that is 2-7-1 but has enough offensive threats on their roster to make any opposing goalie uncomfortable.

Demko will start his third straight Canucks' contest Saturday after winning his fourth-consecutive start with a 30 save victory (.968 SV%) over San Jose last game. The 27-year-old has been one of the league's hottest goaltenders early, with his 5-2-0 record, .940 SV% and 1.79 GAA. He hosts the Dallas Stars Saturday, who is in the midst of a three-game winning streak and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Chytil left the Rangers' previous game vs. Carolina after just 10:23 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Friday. The 24-year-old's injury leaves a big hole in the Rangers lineup as he had been centring their second line and had six assists, 22 SOG, and four PIMs in 10 games prior to the injury.

Forbort is coming off a season-high 23:28 on Monday for the Bruins in their 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and, after being unable to play on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, remains questionable Saturday. Forbort's absence comes at a time when the Bruins are already thin on the back end, being without Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper-body). On Wednesday, the team recalled defensemen Parker Wotherspoon, Ian Mitchell, and Mason Lohrei from the Providence Bruins of the AHL.

Demko will start for the Canucks on Thursday and look to improve on his impressive start to the season as the Canucks visit the low-scoring San Jose Sharks. Demko's 1.92 GAA and .935 SV% through six games (4-2-0) mixed with a winless Sharks team (0-8-1) that has the worst offence in the league (1.00 GF / GP) is a perfect recipe for the Canucks, who are -225 road favourites.

In the Nashville Predators' ninth game of the season, the team will finally turn to Lankinen for his first start of the year. Lankinen played 40 minutes earlier this season in relief of Juuse Saros, saving 17 of 19 shots, and is coming off a 2022-23 campaign where he was a very serviceable backup for the Predators, recording a 2.75 GAA and .916 SV%. The Predators are +129 road underdogs against a Vancouver Canucks team that is off to a terrific start this season (5-2-1), averaging 3.88 goals per game, fifth-best in the league.

Demko will start for the Canucks on Friday as the California-born goaltender will look for his third win of the season. On the season, Demko has a 2.42 GAA and .923 SV% in four games (2-2-0). In his most recent matchup, Demko had a light night, saving 15 of 17 shots in a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. The Canucks are -188 home favourites against a stingy Blues team that is scoring (2.17 GF/GP) almost as infrequently as they are allowing goals (2.33 GA/GP).
