VICTORIA — A trade two days before the Vancouver Canucks started training camp appears to have limited goaltender Spencer Martin's chances of being Thatcher Demko's backup.
Canucks coach Rick Tocchet didn't mention Martin on Friday when asked about the team's goalie hierarchy, suggesting goaltender Casey DeSmith, who was acquired in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, will start the season backing up Demko.
The Canucks sent forward Tanner Pearson and a third round 2025 draft pick to the Canadiens for DeSmith earlier this week. The Canucks have eight goalies at training camp, including starter Demko and Martin's Abbotsford teammate, Arturs Silovs, who starred in Latvia's historic bronze medal-winning performance at the world hockey championship.
