Thatcher Demko has one year left on his five-year , US$25 million contract extension.

The Vancouver Canucks' starting goaltender is buoyed by a better understanding how his body reacts to a demanding position.

Demko was limited to 23 games this season by rehabbing a popliteus knee-muscle strain.

Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark basically alternated starts in the 2023-24 season .

The Vancouver Canucks split the net to ensure compete and freshness instead of fatigue to guard against injury.

The Bruins did the same thing in the past with their goalies.

The union eventually ended because of money.
