Slated to face Toronto Lankinen is set to start on the road against Toronto on Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Impact Lankinen is 0-1-2 across his past three starts, but he limited the competition to two or fewer goals in two of those outings. He's 15-7-6 with a 2.60 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 28 outings overall. Toronto ranks 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

Gets little help in OT loss Lankinen made 16 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder shut down most of the Washington lineup, but Pierre-Luc Dubois got pucks past him late in the first period and in the final minute of OT, and the Vancouver offense wasn't able to get much going. Lankinen has appeared in five straight games, starting four of them, while Thatcher Demko has dealt with back spasms, but he's gone just 1-2-2 with a 2.59 GAA and .882 save percentage. Demko dressed as the backup Wednesday, and he could resume No. 1 duties as soon as Saturday's game in Carolina.

Draws start against Washington Lankinen will start Wednesday's road game against the Capitals, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Although Thatcher Demko (back) is close to returning to game action, Lankinen will draw the start for the fourth time in the Canucks' last five games. Lankinen hasn't been particularly dominant recently, going 1-3-2 with a 3.05 GAA and .865 save percentage over his last six outings. He could have difficulty bouncing back Wednesday, as the Capitals lead the league with 3.70 goals per game.

Rough night in Montreal Lankinen turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Two of the goals against Lankinen came on Montreal power plays, including Nick Suzuki's OT winner, while a third tally deflected in off Quinn Hughes' skate. The 29-year-old netminder has been fighting the puck for a while, however -- Lankinen's gone 1-3-2 over his last six outings with a 3.05 GAA and .865 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (back) is traveling with the Canucks on their current east-coast road trip, but it's not clear when he might be ready to return. If he's not able to play Wednesday in Washington, Arturs Silovs might be between the pipes instead of Lankinen.

Tending twine in Montreal Lankinen will be between the road pipes versus the Canadiens, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen will make his 27th appearance of the season Monday -- the 29-year-old is sporting a 15-7-4 record, .908 save percentage and 2.54 GAA. Montreal is tied for 19th in the NHL with 2.95 goals per game. While their record is nothing to write home about, the Canadiens have played very well lately, going 4-1-0 in their last five games.

Unlucky loss Friday Lankinen allowed one goal on 17 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Lankinen played fairly well, but Steven Stamkos' second-period tally was the difference in this low-event game. This was Lankinen's fourth loss in his last five outings, and his only win in that span was in a relief appearance versus the Kraken on Thursday. He's now 15-7-4 with a 2.54 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. Lankinen is likely to occupy the starting role for the Canucks until Thatcher Demko (back) is able to return.

Set to start Friday Lankinen is expected to start at home against Nashville on Friday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Lankinen has a 15-6-4 record, 2.60 GAA and .907 save percentage in 25 appearances in 2024-25. He'll be playing for the second straight day after entering Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken because Thatcher Demko suffered a back injury. Lankinen stopped 13 of 15 shots in 37:11 of ice time and was perfect in three shootout rounds. Nashville ranks last in goals per game with 2.39.

Picks up shootout win Lankinen stopped 13 of 15 shots he faced in relief of Thatcher Demko (back) in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.

Impact Lankinen squandered a two-goal lead in the third period, but he stepped up in overtime and turned aside all three Seattle attempts in the shootout. The 29-year-old entered the game just before the midway mark in the second period after Demko's back started to give him trouble. It's probable Lankinen will start Friday versus his former team, the Predators -- if the Canucks have to call up a goalie from AHL Abbotsford, likely Arturs Silovs, it would require a trip from Laval, Quebec, where the minor-league team is scheduled for road games Friday and Saturday. Lankinen is now 15-6-4 with a 2.60 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 25 appearances, his most games played in three years.

Loses to Flames Lankinen allowed two goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen has taken three straight losses (0-2-1), allowing nine goals on 70 shots in that span. This was the second time in that stretch the Canucks have given him just one goal of support. The Finnish netminder is down to 14-6-4 with a 2.59 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 outings this season. Thatcher Demko is likely to get the nod Thursday in Seattle, though he was in net for Saturday's third-period meltdown against the Kraken.

Tending twine in Calgary Lankinen will start in Tuesday's divisional matchup against the Flames, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Lankinen had his worst performance of the month in his last start, allowing five goals in an overtime loss to Ottawa. On the bright side, the 29-year-old has been serviceable overall in December, posting a 3-2-2 record, 2.68 GAA and .902 save percentage through seven appearances. In three career starts versus Calgary, Lankinen has a 2-1-0 record, 1.81 GAA and .943 save percentage. The Flames ranks 27th in the NHL with 2.64 goals per game in 2024-25.
