The Vancouver Canucks have activated goaltender Thatcher Demko from injured reserve ahead of Monday’s game against the Dallas Stars. It was not immediately known if Demko would start in the game.
Demko has been out of the lineup since suffering a lower-body injury that initially carried a six-week recovery timeline.
“He’s getting really close. It’s just a matter of getting a couple good, grinding practices in front of him and then hopefully start him,” head coach Rick Tocchet said last week.
