Thatcher Demko stopped all 33 shots he faced and collected his first shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked Chicago 3-0 on Thursday in Vancouver.
It was the first time since former head coach Bruce Boudreau’s debut on Dec. 6, 2021 that the Canucks have held an opponent off the scoresheet.
Andrei Kuzmenko, Vitali Kravtsov and J.T. Miller — into the empty net — all scored for the Canucks (35-36-7), while defenceman Akito Hirose contributed a pair of assists.
The result snapped a four-game winless skid for Vancouver.
