VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom had a “minor lower body procedure” and will be reevaluated in two weeks.
General manager Jim Benning provided the update Wednesday night. Markstrom was hurt during a 9-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Thatcher Demko started Vancouver’s last game, a 4-3 overtime win at Montreal on Tuesday.
The Canucks acquired veteran goaltender Louis Domingue from the New Jersey Devils at Monday’s trade deadline to shore up their goaltending.
