Starter for Sunday Lankinen will guard the home crease versus Vegas on Sunday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Lankinen gave up six goals on 38 shots in a 7-5 shootout win March 29, his last appearance between the pipes as Thatcher Demko has regained his status as Vancouver's top netminder. Lankinen is 24-14-9 with four shutouts, a 2.66 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 47 appearances this season. The Golden Knights are registering 3.35 GAA, sixth in the NHL.

Poor outing Friday Lankinen stopped 32 of 38 shots in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Lankinen returned to the lineup after not featuring in the previous two games, and he had a game to forget, although defense wasn't really present on either team in this contest. The 29-year-old netminder is not ending the season on the best note. He's dropped his last three outings, going 0-1-2 with a 4.54 GAA and a woeful .821 save percentage over that stretch.

Facing Blue Jackets Lankinen will patrol the visiting crease in Columbus on Friday, according to Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK.

Impact Lankinen will make his first start in almost a week as he has been dealing with a hip issue. He struggled in his last start Saturday against the Rangers, giving up four goals on 11 shots in a 5-3 loss. Lankinen is 24-14-8 with four shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He has been the No. 1 goaltender with the Canucks most of the season, but with the return of Thatcher Demko, Lankinen should be considered the backup netminder. The Blue Jackets are averaging 3.14 goals per game, 12th in the league this season.

Struggles in Saturday's loss Lankinen stopped seven of 11 shots in a 5-3 defeat against the Rangers on Saturday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen allowed three goals on six shots in a disastrous third period. He finished the game with an ugly .636 save percentage. Lankinen has lost five of his last seven outings to drop to 24-14-8 with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 46 appearances this season.

Starting in New York Lankinen will guard the road net Saturday against the Rangers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact It'll be the fourth straight start for Lankinen, who's gone 1-1-1 with an .890 save percentage in his last three outings. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 24-13-8 this season with a .903 save percentage and 2.56 GAA.

MARCH 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four tallies Lankinen stopped 25 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Lankinen tended a clean first 35 minutes of Thursday's contest before the Blues scored three goals in the remaining two periods, including two in 24 seconds. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder holds a 24-13-8 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .903 save percentage. Since the start of March, Lankinen has been a bit below league average since the beginning of March with a 4-4-1 record and a .885 save percentage across nine starts. With Thatcher Demko still sidelined with a lower-body injury, Lankinen's frequent appearances between the pipes for Vancouver have fantasy value with the Canucks amid a tight race for a Western Conference Wild Card spot. His next opportunity to defend the crease is Saturday against the Rangers.

MARCH 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Expected to start Thursday Lankinen is set to start on the road against St. Louis on Thursday.

Impact Lankinen stopped 20 of 22 shots in a 6-2 victory over Winnipeg on Tuesday. He's 24-13-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 44 appearances in 2024-25. The Blues rank 18th in goals per game with 2.93. There will be a little added pressure on Lankinen to perform because Thatcher Demko is set to return from a lower-body injury Thursday. Demko will be the understudy in that tilt, but he might significantly eat into Lankinen's time down the stretch, especially if Lankinen struggles.

Secures win over Jets Lankinen stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Impact The Canucks led 3-1 after one period, and that was enough for Lankinen to get the win. The 29-year-old had lost three of his previous four outings, though he hasn't faced more than 26 shots in his last five games. For the season, the Finnish netminder improved to 24-13-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 44 appearances. The Canucks begin a six-game road trip in St. Louis on Thursday, and with no back-to-backs during their upcoming travels, Lankinen could end up seeing a heavy workload.

In goal Tuesday Lankinen will be between the home pipes Tuesday against Winnipeg, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen turned in a serviceable performance in a 3-1 loss to Utah on Sunday but received minimal offensive support. It's been an up-and-down month for the Finnish netminder -- Lankinen is 3-4-0 with an .886 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA over seven outings in March. The Jets have won three consecutive games and sit third in the NHL with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25. Lankinen has only faced the Jets once in his career -- he surrendered six goals on 33 shots in a 6-1 loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 14.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss against Utah Lankinen surrendered two goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Canucks had an opportunity to get some separation in the race for the second wild-card spot, but instead, they allowed Utah to tighten the pack. Lankinen didn't play poorly, but the scoring support just wasn't there in the second half of a back-to-back. This dropped Lankinen to 4-5-0 over nine games since the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he's now at 23-13-7 with a 2.54 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 43 outings this season. The Canucks' homestand ends with a challenging game Tuesday versus the Jets, which will likely be another turn in the crease for Lankinen.
