Demko was the first goalie off the ice for the morning skate on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.

Demko will make his fourth straight start on Tuesday as he expectedly takes the crease vs. Pittsburgh and looks to extend his personal win streak to two games. The 28-year-old is a deserved front-runner for this year's Vezina Trophy, with his 31-12-1 record, 2.47 GAA, .915 SV% and 5 shutouts. He will host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, who have won their last two games to remain in the playoff race but are 20th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Demko will start in Seattle on Thursday.

Demko will return to the crease for the second straight game as the Canucks look to snap a three-game losing skid where they have been outscored 17-10. That said, the California-born netminder played well in a 3-1 losing effort on Tuesday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%). The Canucks are -126 road favourites in a tilt against their division rivals, the Seattle Kraken.

Woo has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) on Wednesday.

Woo finds himself back with the Canucks just a few days after being sent down and will offer Vancouver defensive depth after Nikita Zadorov and Noah Juulsen were shaken up in Tuesday's loss to Colorado. The 23-year-old Woo has enjoyed a strong season with Abbotsford (AHL) up to this point, with five goals, 18 points, 41 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus.

Lankinen will start in Vegas on Tuesday.

Juuse Saros will get the night off on Tuesday as the Predators will turn to Lankinen for the first time since January 27th. Lankinen's most recent appearance came last Thursday against the Stars, when he allowed five goals on 23 shots in relief of Saros as the Predators were blown out 9-2. Lankinen owns a 6-4-0 record and an .889 SV% across 15 games this season. He draws a difficult matchup in Vegas on Tuesday, though the Predators do get the benefit of facing the Golden Knights on the tail-end of their back-to-back.

Bains is expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday vs. Colorado.

Bains was recalled last week by Vancouver and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. The undrafted 23-year-old has enjoyed an impressive season in the AHL, scoring 39 points (9G / 30A) in 42 games with the Abbotsford Canucks.

Demko will start on Tuesday in Colorado.

After witnessing his team give up 10 goals as the backup in a 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Wild yesterday, the Canucks will turn to their starting goalie Demko on Tuesday night. Demko saw his three-game winning streak end in his last outing, giving up four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Canucks face off against the Colorado Avalanche as +126 road underdogs in a battle of Western Conference heavyweights. Demko tended the twine against the Avalanche on November 22nd and allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-2 loss.

Demko will start on Thursday vs. Detroit.

Demko will start for the third straight game on Thursday, attempting to extend his two-game winning streak. Demko has been stellar in his last two games (2-0-0), saving 52 of 56 shots (.928 SV%) and has limited the opposition to two or fewer goals in six of his last nine contests (8-1-0). The Canucks are -181 home favourites, looking for revenge against a Detroit Red Wings club that defeated them 4-3 in overtime less than a week ago.
