Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is between the pipes with his team's season on the line in Game 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Jacob Markstrom is not dressed, as Louis Domingue is backing up, Friedman added.

It marks the first career playoff start for Demko. Other than a brief relief appearance in Game 1 of the series, the 24-year-old hasn't seen meaningful game action since March 10.

More to come.
