Canucks' Marcus Pettersson is getting ready to face the Jets tonight, and he believes he likes what he's seeing from his team and believes they can carry it over.

The Vancouver Canucks are about to get a massive boost in the crease with Thatcher Demko set to return to action. The team's star goalie has been out due to an injury that has kept him out of action over the past three games.

What allowed Thatcher Demko to be back in the lineup tonight

But that is set to change with Demko expressing his readiness to face the Winnipeg Jets during the morning skate, with coach Adam Foote declaring that Demko will be starting.
It is Demko's first time dressing since November 3. He served as the backup goalie during the Canucks' 5-4 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators.
It was a welcome relief to Vancouver's side, particularly since Demko has had struggles with injuries in the past. Though there was no clarification on the reason behind his current problem, insiders reported that there was no need to be alarmed.
The Canucks are confident going into this one on defense. Speaking with the media before the game tonight, defenseman Marcus Pettersson thought about the group's play lately and was pleased enough with what he has seen to believe that the momentum can be continued with the Jets.
"It's huge," Pettersson said. "He's had a great start to the season Demmer has looked so good early on in the year. It's a huge boost every time you get somebody back into the lineup."

"Over the weekend we had a lot of jump... I liked our pushback, I liked our energy, our compete. Try to carry over that energy."

Why Thatcher Demko's return is so crucial for the Canucks

Of course, that kind of team flow is something that Demko's return is sure to improve. The 29-year-old goalie has had excellent results in his first nine starting appearances this year, with a record of 5-4-0, a save percentage of .912, and a GAA of 2.57.
In addition to that, he has the sixth-most goals saved above average in the NHL with +7.6.
Vancouver has gotten its best goalie back in the mix and has a motivated squad in front of him to try to capitalize on his return and the difficulties that the struggling Jets are going through by losing their last three games.
The Canucks are hoping to use the momentum that Demko has brought them to sustain them past this point.
