The Vancouver Canucks say Thatcher Demko will be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
The all-star goaltender was hurt in the second period of Saturday’s 5-0 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets and went directly down the tunnel during a television timeout.
Backup netminder Casey DeSmith finished the game for the Canucks (42-17-7).
Head coach Rick Tocchet said following Tuesday’s practice Demko will be sidelined “week-to-week.”
