Starting against Senators Lankinen will protect the road net versus Ottawa on Saturday, according to Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.

Impact Lankinen has lost his last two outings, surrendering eight goals on 52 shots. He has posted a mark of 8-3-2 with one shutout, a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Ottawa sits 15th in the league with 3.11 goals per game in 2024-25.

Bested by former team Lankinen stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen's former team got the better of him Sunday, though three of the four goals he let in were to players that weren't in Nashville last season. The 29-year-old has allowed at least four goals in three of his last four starts. He's down to an 8-3-2 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 13 games. Those are fine numbers, but Lankinen is trending in the wrong direction and may cede the crease to Arturs Silovs more regularly until a hot hand emerges between the two of them.

Between pipes versus Nashville Lankinen will defend the home crease Sunday against the Predators, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

Impact Lankinen will have a chance to get back in the win column Sunday against one of his former teams -- the Finnish netminder spent the past two seasons with the Preds. The 29-year-old is sporting an 8-2-2 record, .907 save percentage and 2.60 GAA through 12 outings. Nashville ranks last in the NHL with 2.28 goals per game across 18 contests.

Yields four goals in loss Lankinen stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Canucks were listless through two periods before finding a bit more juice in the third. The damage had already been done, and Lankinen ended up on the hook for his second regulation loss in three games. The 29-year-old is 8-2-2 on the year while posting a 2.60 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 12 contests, but he's started to turn inconsistent amid his heavy workload early in the season. Arturs Silovs hasn't put in a competitive effort in the backup role, so Lankinen is likely to continue starting regularly. Both goalies should feature during this weekend's back-to-back as the Canucks host the Blackhawks on Saturday and the Predators on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Lankinen is expected to start at home against the Islanders on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Lankinen turned aside 28 of 29 shots to earn a 3-1 victory over Calgary on Tuesday. It was a nice bounce-back performance after he surrendered seven goals on 27 shots to Edmonton on Saturday. The 29-year-old netminder has an 8-1-2 record, 2.46 GAA and .911 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. The Islanders are in a three-way tie for 26th offensively with 2.50 goals per game and are playing without one of their top forwards in Mathew Barzal (upper body).

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back Tuesday Lankinen stopped 28 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Lankinen was pulled from his last start, and that appears to have been enough to get him back on track. He's won four of his last five outings, allowing a total of 13 goals in that span, including seven tallies in the one loss. For the season, the Finn is 8-1-2 with a 2.46 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 11 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Thursday versus the Islanders.

Set to start Tuesday Lankinen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, indicating he will defend the road net Tuesday versus Calgary.

Impact During his last outing, Lankinen permitted seven goals on 27 shots in a 7-3 loss to Edmonton before being pulled in the third period. He has a 7-1-2 record with one shutout, a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 10 appearances this campaign. Calgary is coming off a 3-1 win over the Kings on Monday.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled in third period Lankinen stopped 20 of 27 shots before he was pulled in the third period of Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Lankinen was handed his first regulation loss of the season, and it was ugly. The Oilers scored four times in a span of 4:55 during the third period to chase him from the contest. Lankinen is now 7-1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 10 start this season, numbers in line with his typical level of performance. He'd been much better than that prior to Saturday, and he could get the chance to bounce back Tuesday against another division rival, the Flames, if he gets the start for that contest.

Slated to start Saturday Lankinen is expected to start at home against Edmonton on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Lankinen has a 7-0-2 record, 2.08 GAA and .923 save percentage in nine appearances this season. He's won his past three starts while saving 68 of 73 shots (.932 save percentage). In theory, Edmonton is an offensive juggernaut, but in practice, the Oilers have struggled to find the back of the net this season. Edmonton is tied for 30th offensively with just 2.36 goals per game.

Sweeps California trip Lankinen stopped 26 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Lankinen allowed an early goal to Quinton Byfield and a third-period marker to Vladislav Gavrikov. The Canucks' offense was a little better, allowing Lankinen to win his third straight game as the team swept their California rivals over the last week. The 29-year-old netminder is up to 7-0-2 with a 2.08 GAA and a .923 save percentage through nine starts. Next up is a home matchup against the Oilers on Saturday.

Guarding goal Thursday Lankinen will patrol the visiting crease in LA on Thursday, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lankinen has yet to lose a game in regulation time as he is 6-0-2 with a 2.09 GAA and a .923 save percentage. His play has taken all the worry of Thatcher Demko's knee injury and undetermined return, out of play. Lankinen will face the Kings, who are averaging 3.36 goals this season.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win over Ducks Lankinen stopped 21 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Lankinen gave up the opening goal to Olen Zellweger on an Anaheim power play, but the Canucks bounced back. The 29-year-old Lankinen has won two starts in a row and still has yet to lose in regulation this season, posting a 6-0-2 record with a 2.09 GAA and a .923 save percentage through eight starts. He continues to be Vancouver's top option in goal and will likely start Thursday against the Kings.
