Thatcher Demko (Lower Body) Joins Canucks on Road Trip, Game Status Uncertain

Thatcher Demko (lower body) is set to join the Vancouver Canucks on their upcoming four-game road trip, as reported by Adam Kierszenblat of The Hockey News on Monday. While traveling with the team marks a positive step in his recovery, Demko is not a guaranteed starter during the trip. His return to game action remains uncertain, with Kevin Lankinen expected to handle the majority of the workload until Demko receives the green light. Nikita Tolopilo could also make his season debut during a back-to-back against the Sharks and Kings.
