On wrong end of shutout Lankinen stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen took his fourth loss in a row. He's allowed 15 goals on 121 shots in that span. The Canucks have given him just six goals of support during this skid, so it doesn't look like he's going to get much help. The 30-year-old dropped to 8-25-5 with a 3.62 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. Lankinen may have the playing time, but he's best avoided in most fantasy formats. The Canucks are set to head out on a road trip, beginning Saturday in Calgary.

Between pipes Thursday Lankinen will make his fifth straight start in net Thursday at home versus Los Angeles, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Lankinen has lost three games in a row, giving him an 8-24-5 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 40 games. The Kings are 29th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.61 goals per game.

Surrenders four goals in loss Lankinen stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Canucks kept it close for much of the game, but they came up a goal short. Lankinen is now on a three-game losing streak with 12 goals allowed on 84 shots in that span. That's fairly poor performance even by Lankinen's shaky standards this season. He's down to 8-24-5 with a 3.63 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 40 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Thursday at home versus the Kings. Given Lankinen's recent play, Nikita Tolopilo may be due a start soon.

Defending home crease Tuesday Lankinen will be between the home pipes against Anaheim on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

The Finnish netminder has lost back-to-back games against the Lightning and Blues while giving up a combined eight goals on 51 shots in those outings. The Ducks are currently holding the top spot in the Pacific Division and are 16-17-2 on the road this season.

Tagged with loss vs. Blues Lankinen stopped 18 of 20 shots faced in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Blues. The final goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen was beaten twice over a 79-second span in the second period, and by the time the Blues added a third goal, the 30-year-old shot-stopper was already on the bench. Lankinen has dropped three of his last four starts in regulation, but with a save percentage of .900 or higher in three of those four contests, Lankinen's play has been better than what the numbers indicate.

Impact Lankinen is having a tough season, as far as the stats are concerned. He is 8-21-5 with a 3.60 GAA and an .878 save percentage for the lowly Canucks in 2025-26. He has a tough matchup versus the Lightning, as Tampa Bay is second in NHL scoring, averaging 3.53 goals per game.

Impact Lankinen's last win was Jan. 21 over the Capitals. He went 0-7-1 with 34 goals allowed over 10 appearances between victories. The 30-year-old hasn't gotten much help from his teammates most of the time, which explains most of his struggles this season.

Impact Lankinen has gone 0-7-1 in his past 10 appearances while allowing 34 goals on 211 shots. He has a 7-21-5 record this campaign with a 3.65 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 36 games. Florida sits 19th in the league with 2.95 goals per game this season.

Beaten once by Ottawa Lankinen stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Senators. The other goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen did everything in his power to prevent another Canucks loss, but the offense didn't provide him with enough support. Lankinen has gone winless in his last 10 appearances for Vancouver, going 0-7-1 with a 4.52 GAA and an .839 save percentage. As the backup netminder in one of the worst defenses in the league, his fantasy appeal is close to non-existent.

First off Monday Lankinen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday.

Impact Lankinen is coming off a 32-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has a 7-20-5 record this campaign with a 3.73 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 35 appearances. Ottawa is tied for eighth in the league with 3.37 goals per game this season.

Falls in OT Saturday Lankinen turned aside 32 of 35 shots in goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Impact Lankinen kept the Canucks' net tidy until there were 12 seconds remaining in the second period, but ultimately fell to Josh Morrissey's game-winning tally in overtime. With the OT loss, Lankinen now holds a 7-20-5 record, a 3.73 GAA, and a .875 save percentage across 35 outings this season. The 30-year-old goalie will have a difficult task in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season while trying to navigate the post-trade deadline Canucks roster to success. His next chance to bounce back is Monday against Ottawa.
