Suter scores 2 as Canucks rally to beat Blue Jackets 5-2

Pius Suter scored twice and the Vancouver Canucks rallied from two goals down to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • Associated Press

Set to face Columbus Lankinen is expected to start at home against Columbus on Friday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Lankinen has a 12-3-3 record, 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage in 18 appearances in 2024-25. Those are acceptable numbers, but he's been vulnerable recently, allowing at least three goals in six of his past seven outings. Thatcher Demko (knee) will serve as the understudy Friday, and Demko's return will enable Vancouver to lean far less on Lankinen going forward. In the meantime, the Blue Jackets shouldn't be taken lightly. They rank eighth in goals per game with 3.44.

Suffers OT loss Lankinen stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

Impact Lankinen was only a few seconds away from deciding the game in a shootout, but Kirill Kaprizov had other plans and blasted a wrister past him with only 24 seconds left in OT. That goal ended Lankinen's four-game winning streak, but one overtime loss shouldn't worry fantasy managers too much. The 29-year-old has been solid of late, going 6-3-1 with a 3.12 GAA with an .894 save percentage over his last 10 games, though those numbers improve to 4-0-1 with a 2.52 GAA and a .917 save percentage when analyzing his last five appearances.

Impact Lankinen picked up his third straight win Friday, and he's faced at least 29 shots in each game during that span while allowing a combined six goals on 95 shots.

Posts 32-save shutout Lankinen stopped all 32 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the Bruins on Tuesday.

Impact Lankinen earned his second shutout this season, which was also the fifth of his career. This was a strong performance for the 29-year-old, as the Bruins outshot the Canucks 32-15 for the game. Lankinen is the seventh goalie to reach the 10-win mark this season, doing so in 15 games at a 10-3-2 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .909 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (knee) is making progress in his recovery, but Lankinen has played well enough as the No. 1 so far that it may benefit the Canucks to deploy those two goalies in a tandem once Demko comes off injured reserve. It'll likely be Arturs Silovs starting in goal Wednesday versus the Penguins.
