TSN's Farhan Lalji notes the injury to Demko came during the team's morning skate.
Demko, 25, has made one start since the Canucks' return to play from a lengthy COVID-related layoff. During Thursday night's 3-0 loss to the Sens, the San Diego native made 22 saves in his first action since Mar. 24.
In 26 games this season, Demko is 12-13-1 with a goals against average of 2.74 and a .917 save percentage.
Demko, in his fourth NHL season, heads into the first year of a five-year, $25 million deal with the 2021-2022 season.
