Canucks Goalie Thatcher Demko Faces Unique Muscle Injury Challenge

Demko's recovery from a rare lower-body muscle injury has been slow and uncertain, sidelining him from training camp.

Thatcher Demko has been dealing with a rare lower-body muscle injury since last season's playoffs.
Despite extensive research, Demko and his medical team have not found any other hockey players with the same ailment.
Demko missed several weeks last season due to a knee injury and was sidelined after the first playoff game against the Nashville Predators.
Recent weeks have shown significant progress in his recovery, but he remains uncertain about when he will return to play.
Demko is adjusting his training regimen to better manage his condition and aims to be back to full strength for his eighth NHL season.
