Thatcher Demko has been surrounded in mystery since his injury in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but now the situation with the Canucks star has been revealed.

For months now, Vancouver Canucks fans have been wondering what is going on with their star goaltender, and with the regular season approaching, the team still haven't given an official word on the situation. Now, the mystery has been alleviated, with the NHL's Keith Woodley shedding some light on the tough injury suffered by Demko.

That doesn't sound good for Demko's recovery, as it was recently reported that he was yet to take the ice with the team, and while that has changed, we still don't know his status heading into the regular season. While the injury has been identified publicly for the first time, that does little to narrow down the recovery time, as it is reportedly a very rare injury that hasn't been seen often in the NHL.

While this is an update for Canucks fans, it does little to give them insight into the situation, as recovery times for this injury have been cited online as anywhere between 3-16 weeks, but with Demko needing to be confident and back to 100%, it could be even longer.

Ultimately, there are still plenty of fears in Vancouver that this injury may linger around their star goaltender, and if that's the case, their once promising season could now be completely up in the air.
