The Vancouver Canucks play their first game of the regular season just six days from today. Last night, they were in action, battling the Ottawa Senators for the second time this week. The Canucks didn’t fare too well, losing by a score of 6-2.

Demko has been tabbed the “goalie of the future” from the moment he was first drafted near the top of the second round at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but hasn’t gotten much action at the NHL level up to this point.
