Rossi exited Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Seattle Kraken in the first period after only 3:00 time-on-ice, but was back at practice on Friday. The 23-year-old Rossi has had an excellent season, seeing an elevated role due to the ongoing Kiril Kaprizov injury, scoring 53 points (21G / 32A) in 69 games.




Pettersson played only 4:06 time-on-ice before exiting Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames due to an upper-body injury. The 21-year-old defenseman is averaging 12:31 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in 15 games this season.

Demko has not played since February 8th due to a lower-body injury but appears to be progressing towards a return after participating at practice on Friday. The 29-year-old Demko was performing at a high level before his injury, posting a 1.21 GAA and .955 SV% in his previous five appearances (3-1-0).

Demko will not make Vancouver's upcoming five-game road trip after it was announced he is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Vancouver expects to re-evaluate the goaltender when they return from Seattle next weekend. Kevin Lankinen in the meantime is expected to get the majority of the Canucks' starts going forward.





Arturs Silovs served as Thatcher Demko's backup in Vancouver's most recent game as Lankinen was out with an illness. Lankinen has a 2.63 GAA and .903 SV% in 30 games this season (16-8-6) and has continued to be busy between the pipes since Demko returned from an injury.
