Tolopilo to Start Against Ducks; Expects Increased Role with Demko Out

Nikita Tolopilo was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, signaling he will start at home against the Ducks. The 25-year-old has made seven appearances this season, posting a 2-3-0 record with a 3.72 GAA. With Thatcher Demko (hip) out for the season, Tolopilo is expected to see significantly more starts, though Kevin Lankinen remains the Canucks' primary option in net.
