New report from a doctor reveals that Thatcher Demko could miss significant time due to his knee injury

Over the last few days discussion has begun regarding Thatcher Demko's potential return to play. The elite goaltender has been in recovery since getting hurt against the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Now several months later a new report from Rick Dhaliwal has revealed the possibility that Thatcher Demko could miss training camp and pre-season. But there is hope he could be back for opening night.

After this report was made public a doctor who often speaks about sports injuries has decided to try and add some context to this situation and Thatcher Demko's potential return timeline.

In a new post on X Dr. Harjas Grewal discussed Thatcher Demko. He mentions that he believes Thatcher Demko is dealing with a torn ACL. With this in mind, his recovery would hover around the 5 month period.

At the moment this specific injury has not been confirmed by Thatcher Demko, the Vancouver Canucks, or insiders. However, if this is indeed the injury that Thatcher Demko is dealing with then he could miss a significant portion of the NHL season before returning.
