Demko will start Thursday in Ottawa.

Demko allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Canucks overtime win in Montreal on Tuesday. It was an outstanding game for Demko, who will likely start every game until Jacob Markstrom is back in a minimum of two weeks. Demko has gone 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .904 SV% on the road this year but is a terrific option tonight in Ottawa.

Demko will start Tuesday in Montreal.

Demko allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Canucks loss to the Ducks on February 16th. With Jacob Markstrom hurt, Demko will start tonight in Montreal and will look to snap his two-game losing streak. The 24-year-old is 3-5-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .902 SV% on the road this season and Montreal comes in having lost five of their last seven (2-4-1).

The Ducks have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from San Diego (AHL).

Sherwood has been called up on a number of occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Ducks. He has played 50 career NHL games to-date and has 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 AHL games this season. He could replace a potential trade chip like Derek Grant in their last game before the deadline.

The Senators have assigned Christian Wolanin to Belleville (AHL).

Wolanin has missed the first four and a half months of the season after suffering a shoulder injury in training camp. He'll go back to the AHL to get some games in before likely returning to the Senators for the final few months of the 2020 campaign. He had 31 points (7G / 24A) in 40 AHL games a season ago.

The Canucks have placed Brock Boeser (upper-body) on IR.

Boeser was forced to leave Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury and was placed on IR on Sunday. His movement to IR means that he will miss at least two games and the Canucks will re-evaluate him prior to next Sunday’s game vs. the Ducks. The move also opens up a roster spot to call-up reinforcements from Utica (AHL).

Forbort is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Forbort is expected to be scratched in favour of Joakim Ryan, who returns from a knee injury. Head coach Todd McLellan said that the timing of the bye week and All-Star break "didn't work in Forbort's favour" after working his way back into playing shape after missing the first 43 games of the season with a back injury.
