Canucks sign goaltender Thatcher Demko to three-year, $25.5M extension

Thatcher Demko is staying on the West Coast. 

The Vancouver Canucks signed the all-star goaltender to a three-year contract extension worth $25.5 million on Tuesday, the team announced. 

Demko, 29, has a career .910 save percentage and 2.81 goals-against average in 242 NHL games, all with the Canucks. He had a career-best year in 2023-24, when he recorded a .918 save percentage, 2.45 goals-against average and five shutouts, finishing second in Vezina Trophy voting. 

Demko struggled last season after suffering an injury in Game 1 of the 2024 playoffs and appeared in just 23 games in 2024-25. He finished the year with a .889 save percentage. 

The San Diego, Calif. native was selected 36th overall by the Canucks at the 2014 NHL Draft. 

Demko is now the second NHL goalie under contract for the Canucks, who signed Kevin Lankinen to a five-year, $22.5 million contract extension in February.
