Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko suffered an injury last season that he will reportedly have to learn how to play through due to it being inoperable.
For the second consecutive season, Demko was shut down early due to health concerns. The veteran netminder returned for the Canucks and played in one playoff game that many believe he was rushed into, and during that game, he reaggravated the injury and has been rehabbing since. On his latest ’32 Thoughts’ podcast, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman revealed that Demko’s injury is very unique and that a surgeon cannot go in and fix the damage.
“The best piece of information I’ve been given is quite simply, he’s going to have to learn to play wi
th this,” revealed Friedman of the injury. “It’s not something that can be fixed with surgery but it’s something that he’s going to have to learn to play through and can play through.”
Demko made his debut for the Canucks during the 2017-18 season and has since played in 219 games for the Canucks posting a 116-81-7 record along with a 2.79 GAA and .912 save percentage. Losing Demko for an extended amount of time would severely hinder the Canucks’ hopes for a deep playoff run as the chances of catching lightning in a bottle twice with a goaltender like Arturs Silovs is not likely to happen. Ironically enough, Silovs is also dealing with a nagging injury currently.
