Thatcher Demko will not return to the Vancouver Canucks crease this season.
The Canucks announced Tuesday that the veteran goalie will undergo hip surgery.
Demko appeared in just 20 games for the Canucks this season and has not played since Jan. 10.
“After consulting with our team doctors and outside specialists, Thatcher Demko will be shut down for the rest of the year,” GM Patrick Allvin said in a statement. “Thatcher will undergo surgery next week for an injury unrelated to the one that kept him out of action last season. Following his rehab, he will be ready for the start of training camp in September.”
