Thatcher Demko out for game 2 and possibly the series.
Sources tell @DailyFaceoff: #Canucks Thatcher Demko is out for Game 2. His status for the series is questionable.
Optional skate today. Demko not out there. Didn’t skate yesterday either. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
Demko not on ice for game-day optional skate. Odd that he’s not taking starter’s routine. And he didn’t practise Monday. May mean something, maybe not. We’ll soon find out. #Canucks #StanleyCupPlayoffs
