VANCOUVER, British Columbia — All-Star goalie Thatcher Demko left midway through the second period after stopping all 12 shots he faced in the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Canucks' 5-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night. Canucks coach Rick Tocchet did not say why Demko left the ice. Said Tocchet: "I haven't talked to the doctor. I don't think it's too serious, but I don't know. I can't speculate." Casey DeSmith turned away 10 shots in relief to help Vancouver win its fourth straight to improve to 42-17-7. Elias Pettersson, Nils Hoglander and Pius Suter each had a goal and assist and J.T. Miller and Phillip Di Giuseppe also scored. Quinn Hughes had two assists.
