After a long six-and-a-half months on the sidelines with a knee injury, Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is set to make his return.

Vancouver's GM Patrik Allvin announced that Demko has been taken off injured reserve. He will join up as the backup goalie when the Canucks take on the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
