First goalie off Lankinen was the first goalie off Wednesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Los Angeles.

Impact Lankinen has been relatively effective in recent outings, going 3-1-1 with a 1.85 GAA and .932 save percentage over his last five appearances. The Kings rank 16th in the NHL with 2.91 goals per game this season.

Outplayed in low-scoring game Lankinen stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen was good, but Adin Hill was just a little better as the Golden Knights came back from 1-0 down in this game. The 29-year-old Lankinen looks to be the Canucks' No. 1 for a while -- Thatcher Demko (lower body) is week-to-week and isn't on the Canucks' five-game road trip. Lankinen is 3-1-1 with nine goals allowed over his last five outings, and he's at a 19-9-7 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 35 contests this season. Demko's injury history is concerning enough that the Canucks signed Lankinen to a five-year extension Friday, so he's likely to be at least a "1B' option for the next few years. That has value in all fantasy formats, where he's no worse than a No. 3 goalie for virtual squads and will often elevate to No. 2 status when he's seeing significant playing time.

Canucks 4-Nations Face-Off: Why unflappable Finn Kevin Lankinen could net gold again Kevin Lankinen's only previous call from Finland culminated with 43 saves against Canada to earn gold at 2019 world hockey championship.

Pulled in loss to Canada Lankinen allowed four goals on 13 shots before he was pulled at the 5:03 mark of the second period of Finland's 5-3 loss to Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday.

Impact Team Canada had dominated the first period, with Finland surrendering multiple rush chances. Lankinen didn't have much of a chance. He was relieved by Juuse Saros. Lankinen will take a few days before returning to Vancouver. He will be a valuable fantasy play to finish the season and going forward, as starter Thatcher Demko (lower body) continues to show real fragility.
