Having too many goalies is a good problem in the NHL, but the Vancouver Canucks are stuck with two inconsistent career backups but a promising netminder in prized prospect, Thatcher Demko.
The 22-year-old Demko completed his second AHL season for the Utica Comets, going 25-13-4 with a .922 save percentage and 2.44 goals against average. Demko also made his NHL debut late in the season — a 5-4 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
At this point, Demko looks more than ready about the NHL — which I’ve written about here many times.
