Title: Canucks' Thatcher Demko Makes Progress in Recovery, Boosts Team's Stanley Cup Hopes
Vancouver Canucks fans have a reason to be optimistic as star goaltender Thatcher Demko is reportedly recovering well from his "once in a 50-year" injury. According to NHL editor Colin Gallant, Demko has been dealing with inflammation in his knee but is expected to be fully healthy later this month. His recovery comes as a relief for the Canucks who are looking to build on their successful 2023-24 season that saw them win the division for the first time since 2013. The team is also exploring other goaltending options with free agent Kevin Lankinen reportedly at the top of the list, as backup Arturs Silovs may also be out for the start of training camp due to an inflamed knee.
