Breaking news: Canucks' goalie Thatcher Demko is out for Game 2 and possibly longer, leaving Vancouver's playoff hopes in jeopardy. Find out more here!

The Vancouver Canucks are facing a major setback as their star goalie, Thatcher Demko, has been sidelined due to injury. Coach Rick Tocchet announced that Demko will miss Game 2 against the Nashville Predators and might be questionable for the remainder of the series. This unexpected turn of events has left fans worried about the team's performance without their top goaltender.

Despite the Canucks' efforts, including a strong performance by backup goalie Casey DeSmith, the team suffered a disappointing 4-1 loss to the Predators in Game 2. Demko's absence has highlighted the importance of a solid goaltending presence in the playoffs, adding to the pressure on the Canucks to bounce back in the series.

In the midst of the goalie dilemma, the Predators capitalized on their opportunity, with Filip Forsberg leading the charge to secure a victory and even the playoff series. The Canucks now face a tough challenge in regaining momentum and overcoming the Predators without their key player, Demko.

As the Canucks navigate through the playoffs without Demko, the team is under scrutiny to perform at their best and make up for the absence of their top goalie. With Game 2 behind them and uncertainties lingering about Demko's return, Vancouver's resilience and determination will be put to the test.
