It’s been a long time since the Vancouver Canucks have been able to say that good goaltending is one of their team’s strengths. This year, however, the Canucks are able to say just that, thanks to budding young goaltender Thatcher Demko, and Jacob Markstrom, who looks ready to continue the tear he was on at the end of last season.
Demko was put to the test after Markstrom was granted a leave of absence by the team to tend to a family matter. Demko started three straight games for the Canucks, going 2-1.
