Vancouver Canucks No. 1 goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Game 3 at the Nashville Predators on Friday and remains “week-to-week,” head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters.

Tocchet added that Demko will miss the next few games due to the undisclosed injury he sustained in Vancouver’s 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series.

Casey DeSmith, who got the nod in a 4-1 loss in Game 2 on Tuesday, will remain the starter with Demko sidelined.

Demko, 28, missed 14 games due to a lower-body injury toward the end of the regular season, but Tocchet previously said the goalie’s current injury is unrelated to the lower-body issue. Demko returned for one game before the playoffs began.
