Injured Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko skated on Sunday and will join the team for a road trip to Nashville and St. Louis this week, the team said.
Demko has been sidelined with a groin injury since Dec. 1.
Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said the team also will bring goalies Collin Delia and Arturs Silovs on the trip.
Demko has had a miserable season, posting a 3-10-2 record with a 3.93 goals-against average and .883 save percentage.
Demko is a candidate to be dealt to a playoff contender prior to the March 3 trade deadline if he can show he's healthy.
The Canucks are in Nashville for a game on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, Sportsnet Pacific) before facing the Blues on Thursday.
