VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have placed all-star goalie Thatcher Demko on the long-term injured reserve list retroactively.

The 28-year-old netminder was sidelined with a lower-body injury midway through Vancouver’s 5-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on March 9. 

Demko boasts a 34-18-2 record this season, with a .917 save percentage, a 2.47 goals-against average and five shutouts.

Casey DeSmith has taken over the starting job for Vancouver, going 3-2-1 since Demko’s injury. 

The earliest Demko could be back in the Canucks lineup is April 6 when the team faces the Kings in Los Angeles.
