Vancouver Canucks starting netminder Thatcher Demko won't return for game seven against the Edmonton Oilers.

Vancouver Canucks starting netminder Thatcher Demko won't return for game seven against the Edmonton Oilers. 

Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet ruled out his All-Star goalie after the disappointing game six loss. 

Demko has been trying to return from a knee injury he suffered in round one against the Nashville Predators. There have been many reports that he could return in game six or seven of this series. 

Arturs Silovs has been solid since taking over in game three of the first round. He should be the Canucks starting goalie in game seven on Monday. 

Demko was seen taking shots after morning skate today and could be close to returning, and if the Canucks win on Monday, there could be a massive goalie decision to make in the near future. 

Whichever team wins game seven will face the Dallas Stars in Dallas on Thursday for game one of the Western Conference Final.
