Kevin Lankinen - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

Expected to start Thursday Lankinen is going through his starter's routine at morning skate, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com, and is slated to protect the home crease against Dallas on Thursday.

Impact Lankinen got a rare night off Monday, as Jiri Patera gave up seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to Florida. Lankinen will get his seventh start in the last eight games. Lankinen is 4-5-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .890 save percentage. The Stars are tied for 11th in NHL scoring, generating 3.20 goals per game.

Gives up two goals in win Lankinen stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Lankinen has started the Canucks' last six games, and although his 2-2-2 record isn't encouraging, he might be trending in the right direction after allowing two or fewer goals in two of his last three outings. The 30-year-old Finnish netminder has the No. 1 role locked up while Thatcher Demko (lower body) remains sidelined. Lankinen has gone 4-5-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 11 outings this season.

Starting sixth straight Lankinen will get the start Sunday against the Lightning, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Since the injury to Thatcher Demko (lower body), Lankinen has been heavily leaned on by the Canucks. The 30-year-old will play in his sixth straight contest despite coming out on the winning end just once in those appearances. He carries a 3-5-2 record, 3.58 GAA and an .886 save percentage into the contest against the Lightning, a team that has scored three goals or more four games in a row.

Yields four goals in overtime loss Lankinen allowed four goals on 38 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The Canucks took a 3-2 lead with a Conor Garland power-play goal early in the second period, but Lankinen couldn't make it stand. The 30-year-old Lankinen is now 1-2-2 with 17 goals allowed over his last five games. Overall, he has a 3-5-2 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 10 appearances. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) set to miss another couple of weeks at a minimum, playing time is likely to remain steady for Lankinen, but fantasy managers may want to avoid him in tough matchups. The Canucks will wrap up this road trip with a back-to-back, as they visit the Lightning on Sunday and the Panthers on Monday.

Tending twine in Carolina Lankinen will draw the road start against Carolina on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Lankinen has seen increased playing time recently while Thatcher Demko (lower body) has been hampered by injuries. Lankinen has had mixed results over his last four appearances, going 1-2-1 with a 3.61 GAA and .884 save percentage during that time. He'll draw the start for the fourth time in the Canucks' last five games Friday but will face a tough test against the Hurricanes, who rank third in the league with 3.69 goals per game.

Takes loss in relief outing Lankinen stopped 20 of 21 shots in relief of Thatcher Demko (lower body) in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact The Jets were able to cover Demko's damage from the first period, leaving Lankinen to take the loss despite a sharp performance. The injury to Demko is unrelated to his previous undisclosed issue that kept him out of action over this past weekend. It's likely Lankinen will retake control of the No. 1 job between the pipes, and Jiri Patera will be his backup as long as Demko is out. Lankinen is now 3-5-1 with a 3.57 GAA and an .885 save percentage over nine appearances. The Canucks begin a three-game road trip versus the Hurricanes on Friday.

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.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • THEPROVINCE.COM

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.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
