According to head coach Travis Green, Vancouver Canucks rookie goaltender Thatcher Demko will make his season debut tonight against the Buffalo Sabres.

In 16 games with the AHL's Utica Comets this season, Demko has a .911 save percentage and a 2.58 GAA. The Canucks recalled Demko on Jan. 4, but has yet to appear in a game.
