LATEST | Demko makes Canucks history during Monday's win over Chicago
On Monday night, the Vancouver Canucks hosted the Chicago Blackhawks at Rogers Arena in what was supposed to be Connor Bedard's first game in his hometown, but unfortunately due to injury, he was unable to play.
Without Bedard to worry about on the ice, the Canucks played quite well against the last place team in the Central Division, walking away with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Pius Suter and Quinn Hughes, along with a 31-save shutout from Thatcher Demko.
