VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks COVID-19 outbreak continues, with star goalie Thatcher Demko and forward J.T. Miller testing positive for the virus via rapid tests on Thursday. 

Both players were held out of practice at Rogers Arena as the team awaits the results of further testing.

Miller, 28, is Vancouver’s leading scorer with 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) in 39 games this season. 

Demko, 26, has a .917 save percentage and 2.62 goals-against average with a 17-14-0 record. He’s also set to represent the Canucks at the NHL All-Star game next month.
