The Vancouver Canucks dismantled the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night but Thatcher Demko left the game in the second period.
Forget that the Vancouver Canucks completely dismantled the Winnipeg Jets, who entered the night tied with the Canucks for first in the Western Conference in points percentage.
In order for a goaltender to get credit for a shutout, they have to be the goaltender of record for the entire game, so neither Demko nor DeSmith gets a shutout despite, well, shutting out the Jets. And, since there’s no such statistic for a “team shutout,” the shutout simply cease to be, vanishing into the ether as if it never happened.
“I haven’t talked to the doctor but I don’t think it’s too serious,” said Tocchet. “But I don’t know, I can’t speculate.” There were some who speculated that Demko might have been playing through an injury and questioned whether he should have even got the start. But Tocchet said Demko wasn’t dealing with anything during the morning skate and suggested it was a “fluke thing.”
