Early in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko went down with a serious injury. Initial reports feared he would miss the entire playoffs. Now a report from Frank Seravalli has revealed that he could return in the second round if the series extends long enough.
Sources say #Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko is out through at least Game 4 of this Round 2 series vs. #Oilers.
Demko has been skating and progressing. Big week ahead. Earliest possible return is Game 5 and that is probably pushing it. But Games 6-7 get interesting, if necessary.

Once the Canucks series gets going and the current goalie tandem of Arturs Silovs and Casey DeSmith can be evaluated against the heightened competition in the Edmonton Oilers a decision can be made on Thatcher Demko.
If they struggle the calls to rush Thatcher Demko back into action could intensify quickly.
