OutOutThatcher Demko isn't expected to play — the read below describes past games only.
- Injury:
- Hip Surgery
- Est. return:
- Sep 29, 2026
Demko was sidelined to close out the 2025-26 campaign due to hip surgery, and the Canucks announced last week that he doesn't yet have a timetable for his return. Johnson indicated Wednesday that Demko won't be with one of the main groups to begin camp, but the netminder will be on the ice in Penticton with his teammates as he continues his recovery process. While it's not yet clear whether Demko's recovery will impact his availability for the start of the regular season, Kevin Lankinen, Chris Driedger and Nikita Tolopilo are candidates to see time in net if Demko is sidelined.

FavorableThe read
Over his last 10 games, Thatcher Demko has gone over 25.5 SV 3 of 10 decided times (30%) — versus 44% across the full season. CGY has been a favorable matchup for goalies this season, allowing the 7th-most SV of 32 teams (25.6 per game). His game-to-game SV have been fairly steady (σ ≈ 6.0), so short streaks can mislead. These are descriptive stats about past games, not predictions or betting advice.

Edge vs
Hit rate excludes pushes from the denominator. Confidence uses a 95% Wilson interval — a high recent rate on few games still reads as low confidence. Season over rate at this line: 44%.
