Canucks Coffee: Kevin Lankinen's calm demeanour in heat of battle is paying off Lankinen always has that look. It's like he doesn't have a care in the world. His body language and tone have always exuded confidence.

Handed overtime loss Lankinen stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Starting on consecutive days, Lankinen had his hands full with a tough opponent. The 30-year-old netminder never received a lead to protect, though he did a decent job of making sure the deficit never got larger than two goals. He's now 3-4-1 with a 3.71 GAA and an .879 save percentage over eight starts. Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is likely to resume No. 1 goalie duties once healthy, but it's unclear when that will happen. In the meantime, Lankinen appears set for most of the starts, as the Canucks appear reluctant to get Jiri Patera involved in anything more than an emergency capacity. The Canucks host the Jets on Tuesday before embarking on a three-game road trip that starts Friday in Raleigh against the Hurricanes.

Canucks: Kevin Lankinen gets net against Avalanche, Thatcher Demko possible for Jets It's back-to-back starts for Kevin Lankinen tonight against the Avalanche. Thatcher Demko is a possibility to face the Jets on Tuesday.

Set to start again Sunday Lankinen will be between the home pipes Sunday against Colorado, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Lankinen was in goal for Saturday's 4-3 win over Columbus, but he'll start again Sunday as a result of Thatcher Demko dealing with an undisclosed injury. Lankinen will look to win two straight games for the first time this year, but that will be a challenge against an Avalanche squad that is rolling -- they are 4-0-1 in their last five games and scored nine goals in Saturday's win in Edmonton. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed less than three goals in just one of his seven appearances this season, so he'll be hard to trust Sunday.

Grinds out win over Columbus Lankinen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The teams traded two goals apiece in the second period, and the third was close as well. Lankinen did just enough for the win, making a Brock Boeser tally with 5:45 to go stand as the game-winner. This was the sixth time in seven outings that Lankinen has allowed at least three goals, so he's been far from his best behind a team that's been battered by injuries. He's now 3-4-0 with a 3.54 GAA and an .884 save percentage in seven starts. Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday versus the Avalanche, and it's possible the Canucks turn back to Lankinen rather than give Jiri Patera a start against an incredibly tough opponent, though no plans have been announced yet.

Facing Blue Jackets Lankinen will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Lankinen has a 2-4-0 record this season while allowing 22 goals on 184 shots. Jiri Patera will be the backup netminder, and Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) will get the night off to rest. The Blue Jackets sit 16th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this campaign.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unravels in third period Lankinen stopped 23 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen kept the game scoreless through two periods, but the Blackhawks rattled off four goals in 11:37 to start the third. That was enough to send Lankinen to another loss, dropping him to 2-4-0 with a 3.62 GAA and an .880 save percentage over six starts this season. He shouldn't have to wait long for his next start, as the Canucks play a back-to-back this weekend. They host the Blue Jackets on Saturday followed by the Avalanche on Sunday, so look for Lankinen and Thatcher Demko to split those starts.

Expected to face Chicago Lankinen is set to start at home against Chicago on Wednesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen has a 2-3-0 record, 3.53 GAA and .885 save percentage in five appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. He's surrendered at least three goals in four of those five outings. Maybe he'll fare better against the Blackhawks, who have dropped their last three games (0-2-1) and have been limited to six goals over that stretch.

Picks up shootout win Lankinen stopped 36 of 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.

Impact The Blues had far more pressure in the game, but Kiefer Sherwood's hat trick and Lankinen's play between the pipes got the game to a shootout. There, Lankinen made three more saves to secure the win, which was just his second in five outings. He's at a 2-3-0 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .885 save percentage. The 30-year-old has filled a backup role behind Thatcher Demko, though the Canucks have not given more than two consecutive starts to Demko, so Lankinen should still carve out a decent amount of playing time.

Set to face St. Louis Lankinen is expected to guard the road goal against St. Louis on Thursday, per Olivia McDonald of Canucks Insider.

Impact Lankinen has a 1-3-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .873 save percentage in four appearances this season. He's dropped his past two outings while allowing nine goals on 50 shots (.820 save percentage). The Blues are 3-6-1 and tied for 21st in goals per game with 2.90 this year, so this is a favorable matchup.

Rough start to season continues Lankinen allowed four goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Lankinen has gone 1-3-0 over his first four outings this season, allowing at least four goals in each loss. The 30-year-old squandered a 2-0 lead in this contest. The Canucks have alternated Lankinen and Thatcher Demko over the last eight games, but head coach Adam Foote may eventually opt to increase Demko's workload since he's getting better results. Lankinen is likely to watch from the bench in Sunday's game against the Oilers.
