NHL insiders have revealed that the Canucks starting goalie hurt his knee late in Game 1 and is now questionable to return at any point during the first round.
The Canucks are turning to Casey DeSmith for Game 2 tonight. They’ll need the veteran to be sharp if they wish to take a 2-0 series lead.
The Predators have a strong offensive attack and ranked second among all NHL teams in goals-per-game after the All-Star break.
Demko made 22 saves, including a highlight-reel stop on Anthony Beauvillier in the first period, in Game 1 to help the Canucks to victory. They’ll need a few big saves from DeSmith to get another win tonight.
The game starts at 7 pm at Rogers Arena. The team will be looking for the full advantage of the home crowd like they had in Game 1 to win again.
