Boeser was on the ice for the Canucks morning skate again, but did not participate in line rushes and is not expected to play in Philadelphia. Boeser appears to be close, so there's a chance he plays in the second half of the back-to-back, tomorrow in Detroit.
Demko stopped 32 of 34 shots in the Canucks shootout loss to the Oilers in their season opener on Wednesday. Despite the loss, it was a really strong start to the season for the 26-year-old netminder. Tonight he takes on a Flyers team that ranked right in the middle of the pack in scoring (2.86 GF/gm) last season.
Lankinen emerged as the Blackhawks No.1 last year, going 17-14-5 with a 3.01 GAA and .909 SV% in 37 starts. With Marc-Andre Fleury now in town, he'll take a back seat for most of the season but will start the front-end of their back-to-back on Friday. Lankinen will see a New Jersey team that will be without Ty Smith, Damon Severson, Miles Wood and Mackenzie Blackwood.
