Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has announced who will get the start between the pipes tonight against Los Angeles, along with a game-time decision.
The Vancouver Canucks hit the ice at Rogers Arena on Thursday morning as they prepare for a Pacific Division clash with the Los Angeles Kings tonight.
Rick Tocchet's group return to Rogers Arena after a disappointing road trip which saw them win just one of their five games and as they look to turn things around on home ice, the Canucks bench boss announced who will be getting the start against the Kings.
When meeting with reporters following the team's morning skate, Rick Tocchet announced that Thatcher Demko will be getting the start, his first start since Friday's loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
In eight games this season, Demko has a record of 2-2-3 with a 3.17 goals against average and an .883 save percentage.
Meanwhile on the blue line, it looks like there may be a change as Tocchet shard that Noah Juulsen is "banged up" and is a game-time decision for tonight's contest.
