Head coach Travis Green is hopeful that Demko will be ready for Tuesday's rematch against the Leafs. Braden Holtby is the expected starter for now, while Michael DiPietro will likely serve as the backup.

Demko and the Canucks could return to action as soon as Sunday.

Inks five-year deal Demko secured a five-year, $25 million contract extension with Vancouver on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Demko appeared in 10 of the club's last 11 contests in which he posted a 7-3-0 record and 2.36 GAA, though he did give up four goals in each of his previous two outings. While it was expected Demko would be the netminder of the future for Vancouver, his long-term extension all but cements him as the team's No. 1 moving forward.

Uninspiring against Jets Demko yielded four goals on 35 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Demko was overpowered by Andrew Copp, who scored three of his four goals against the goalie -- he also had an empty-netter when head coach Travis Green pulled his goalie. The 25-year-old Demko has lost his last two games after winning seven of the previous eight. He has a 12-12-1 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 25 appearances. The Canucks have a week off before playing the Flames on March 31, which should give Demko plenty of time to practice and shake off his recent struggles.

He fell to 12-11-1 with a 2.72 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 24 contests.
