Big in the net. Can play deeper at times, but he's aggressive challenging shooters and fronting high danger scoring chances. Quick pads. High end compete. Always prepared. Top tier NHL starter. Vancouver's penalty kill has improved exponentially, year over year, and Demko is a big part of the reason why.

Carries a heavy workload in Vancouver.
At the halfway point of the 23/24 season he appeared in 30 games.
Big body. Athletic. Competitive.
Tracks very well. Quick moving side to side. Solid low net coverage. Quick pads.
One of the top save percentages in the league for goalies who have played more than 20 games - .916% to go along with a 2.55 GAA - as of January 13th
Ability to steal games. One of the Canucks most valuable players.

Demko's game has gone to another level. He has an 8-3-0 record through his first eleven games. His save percentage is an incredible .932%. His GAA follow suit (2.05). He's flat out been one of the top goaltenders in the league to start the year, and a big part of the reason the Canucks find themselves hovering around the top of their division and the Western Conference.
Demko has only had one average start (vs Toronto).
Everything about Demko's game has been outstanding. Crease composure / tracking / second stop battle / finding pucks in traffic / making timely saves to allow his team to get on track.
Monitor his first 5 minutes of every period. The Canucks have started slow some nights ... not Demko ... he's been making big stops early in games.

Battled injury in (22/23) - played only 32 games - posting 3.16 GAA and .901 save %
The previous season he played 64 games and posted 2.72 GAA and .915%
Big body - competes - has the ability to steal a game - tasked with having to make more 'Grade A' stops than other starters in the league due to the, at times, poor defending group in front of him (especially on the penalty kill) - Having said that, his job is to stop the puck -
Butterfly/Hybrid style - sits tall when down - moves well laterally and has length to make desperate stops - good gloves - plays the puck well - rebound control has room for more consistency - Has #1A upside but his GAA has to improve by 0.5 and save % has to eclipse .920 to move into that category
