    Demko ruled out for Game 1, Silovs staying ready, Vancouver head coach says

    Arturs Silovs has rocketed up the Vancouver Canucks' depth chart this post-season, going from third-string goalie to starter in pivotal elimination games. “You just have to be always ready,” Silovs said Sunday. The 23-year-old Latvian netminder has made the most of his opportunities in recent weeks, backstopping the Canucks to two wins in his first three NHL playoff games. On Friday, he made a series of crucial saves late as Vancouver blanked the Nashville Predators 1-0 and earned their way through to the second round where they'll face the Edmonton Oilers.

The Jack Adams finalist for NHL coach of the year took the Canucks from a team that missed the postseason a year ago by finishing 11th in the Western Conference to placing third in the West this season.

    When it comes to NHL player injury transparency, mum's still the word

    Much to the chagrin of hockey fans yearning for information on NHL player injuries, teams remain steadfast in keeping such details close to the vest if they say anything at all. “If they said we had to let out the information, I'd let it out,” said Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar. Many Maple Leafs fans were pulling out their hair wondering why forward William Nylander missed three playoff games with an undisclosed injury. The demand for specifics was also strong on the West Coast when Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko's injury status changed from day-to-day to week-to-week.
