Slated to start Lankinen is expected to protect the home net against Utah on Sunday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Lankinen will get the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back after Arturs Silovs played in Saturday's 6-2 win over Chicago. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 23-12-7 record with four shutouts, a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 42 appearances this campaign. Utah sits 22nd in the league with 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25.

Pettersson forces late tie and adds shootout goal in Canucks' 4-3 victory over Flames

Holds firm to earn shootout win Lankinen stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Impact Lankinen gave up a pair of goals to Jonathan Huberdeau in the second period, which put the Canucks behind. Elias Pettersson tied the game in the third, and Lankinen held firm, including stopping three of four attempts in the shootout, to secure the win in a game between two teams battling for a playoff spot. The 29-year-old netminder is 3-3-0 after starting six straight games to begin March, and he's allowed three or more goals in four of those contests. For the season, Lankinen sports a 23-12-7 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 42 appearances. The Canucks have another back-to-back up next, as they host the Blackhawks on Saturday and Utah on Sunday. It's unclear at this time if Arturs Silovs will be considered to start either of those games.

In goal again Wednesday Lankinen will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Wednesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Lankinen took a second consecutive loss in Tuesday's 4-2 defeat against the Canadiens. However, the Canucks are trying to keep pace in the playoff race, and Lankinen gives them a better chance to win than Arturs Silovs. The 29-year-old Lankinen is 3-4-0 with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage over his last seven outings, and he has a favorable matchup against the Flames' pedestrian offense.

MARCH 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight defeat Lankinen stopped 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal came on an empty-netter with 17 seconds left in the game.

Impact Lankinen was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, and now he's dropped three of his last five starts, posting a 2.85 GAA and an .884 save percentage in that stretch. The Canucks play again Wednesday at Calgary, so Lankinen could get the night off in the second leg of a back-to-back set. If that's the case, then Arturs Silovs would likely defend the Canucks' crease.

Starting first half of back-to-back Lankinen will tend the home twine Tuesday versus Montreal, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Lankinen will make his fifth straight start as Vancouver is battling for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The 29-year-old has had mixed results over four outings in March, going 2-2-0 with an .884 save percentage and a 2.79 GAA. The Canadiens have lost back-to-back games and were shutout 1-0 in Calgary on Saturday.

MARCH 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in Sunday's loss Lankinen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen had won three of his last four outings, but he didn't put in a great performance against a tough opponent. The Stars scored twice in the second period, and Jason Robertson added the third goal on Lankinen's line midway through the third to squash any hope of a Vancouver comeback. For the season, Lankinen slipped to 22-11-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 40 games. The Canucks have a back-to-back up next with a home game Tuesday versus the Canadiens followed by a trip to Calgary on Wednesday. It's one of two back-to-back sets over the next week, so Lankinen and Arturs Silovs appear poised to split the workload in that span, as it's unlikely Thatcher Demko (lower body) will be cleared to play during that stretch.

Facing Dallas Lankinen will defend the home crease against the Stars on Sunday, according to Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Impact Lankinen has won back-to-back games and three of his last four while conceding two goals or less in each victory. The Finnish goaltender owns a 22-10-7 record, .906 save percentage and 2.52 GAA through 39 appearances this season. Dallas is on the second half of a back-to-back after losing 5-4 in Edmonton on Saturday and will be without Roope Hintz (face), who was injured in that game.

Stands tall in win Lankinen stopped 37 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Lankinen has won four of his last six outings, and this is the fifth time in that span he's allowed two or fewer goals. His shutout bid was spoiled by Brock Faber's power-play tally, but Lankinen held off the Wild's relentless attack and got just enough goal support late in the third period to claim the win. He's now 22-10-7 with a 2.52 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 39 outings this season. The 29-year-old netminder seems likely to get the nod for a challenging matchup versus the Stars on Sunday.

Between the pipes Friday Lankinen will guard the home net versus Minnesota on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lankinen is having a career year with the Canucks this season. He is 21-10-7 with four shutouts, a 2.56 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The Wild have had trouble finding the back of the net this season, generating 2.82 goals per game, tied for 22nd in the NHL.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lightly tested in win Lankinen stopped 14 of 16 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact The Ducks didn't have much going in the second half of their back-to-back, leaving Lankinen with little to do. In that regard, it wasn't a a particularly inspiring performance from the 29-year-old netminder, but it was enough for his third win in five starts. He's now at a 21-10-7 record through a career-high 38 games, and he's added a 2.56 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The Canucks' homestand continues with a tougher matchup Friday versus the Wild.

Set to face Anaheim Lankinen is expected to start at home against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.

Impact Lankinen is coming off a disappointing 6-3 loss to Seattle on Saturday in which he surrendered five goals on 23 shots. He had a good stretch before that, though, stopping 77 of 82 shots (.939 save percentage) over three outings from Feb. 6-26. This will be his second start of the campaign against the Ducks after he saved 21 of 22 shots en route to a 5-1 victory over them Nov. 5.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unlucky in loss Lankinen stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen didn't have much fortune Saturday. The Kraken tipped in three of the five goals against him, while the Canucks' skaters frequently hit the post. It's still Lankinen's worst performance since he surrendered six goals in a loss to the Jets on Jan. 14. The 29-year-old had given up just 11 goals over six outings since that game, so it's possible he was due for a stinker. He's at 20-10-7 with a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. He'll have some extra time to regroup after the loss -- the Canucks' next game is Wednesday at home versus the Ducks.

Set to face Seattle Lankinen is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen has a 20-9-7 record, 2.50 GAA and .907 save percentage in 36 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 24 of 26 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Kings in his last start Wednesday. Seattle is in a three-way tie for 17th in goals per game with 2.88.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Wins in overtime Lankinen stopped 24 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Lankinen couldn't protect a 2-0 lead in the third period, but Conor Garland saved the day with his second tally of the game coming in overtime. This was Lankinen's fourth win in his last six outings, and he's allowed two or fewer goals in five of those games. The 29-year-old netminder has earned his first 20-win NHL season at 20-9-7, and he's added a 2.50 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 36 outings, one shy of his career high. Lankinen will operate as the Canucks' top goalie as long as Thatcher Demko (lower body) remains out, though it'll likely be Arturs Silovs getting the nod for the second half of the back-to-back Thursday in Anaheim.
