Kevin Lankinen Will Play Saturday Night

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen (upper body) will return to the blue paint on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks, Olivia McDonald of Canucks Insider reports. He has shaken off an upper-body injury, which kept Lankinen sidelined for three games. Lankinen celebrated a rare victory in his last outing, despite giving up six goals against Colorado. He has picked up just four wins in 2026, posting a 9-26-5 record for the season. Lankinen owns a 3.69 goals-against average and a .875 save percentage. The Finnish netminder is unlikely to celebrate a second consecutive victory on Saturday, as he faces a playoff-hungry Sharks team that has gone 3-0-0 against Vancouver in 2025-26, with 14 goals scored.

Kevin Lankinen Won't Dress on Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen (upper body) won't be available for Tuesday's tilt against the Vegas Golden Knights. After battling an illness over the weekend, Lankinen missed Monday's practice and is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old has had a miserable campaign in Vancouver, going 9-26-5 across 40 starts. He carries a 3.69 goals-against average and a .875 save percentage. Jiri Patera was recalled on an emergency basis from the minors before Saturday's clash against Utah and will presumably stay with the big club until Lankinen returns. Nikita Tolopilo started Saturday's game, allowing six goals with a .739 save percentage in a 7-4 loss.

Kevin Lankinen Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen likely won't be available on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 30-year-old was part of Finland's bronze-winning team in Milan and is dealing with travel delays. With Thatcher Demko (hip) out for the season, Lankinen has been Vancouver's de facto starter. It's been a tough campaign for him, as Lankinen holds a 7-19-4 record. He has allowed 3.67 goals with a .876 save percentage. The Canucks will lean on Nikita Tolopilo and Jiri Patera until Lankinen rejoins the team. The two have combined for a 3-4-1 record this season.

Kevin Lankinen Not Traveling With Canucks

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen (personal) will not travel with the team on a four-game road trip. He is currently away from the team for personal reasons. Lankinen has been Vancouver's de facto starting goaltender recently, posting a 4-7-2 record for the season. The team is currently also without the services of Thatcher Demko (lower body), meaning Nikita Tolopilo and Jiri Patera are set to share the goaltending duties for the time being. The Canucks make their first stop on the road trip Wednesday night, facing the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center.

Kevin Lankinen Starts For Canucks Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will start Tuesday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The Canucks are beginning a back-to-back and will roll with Lankinen for the first leg. The 29-year-old will be making his 39th start of the season. He carries a record of 22-11-7 and has tallied four shutouts. Lankinen's goals-against average is 2.53, and he has a save percentage of .905. The season has been positive for Lankinen; however, he struggled in his last appearance against the Canadiens, allowing five goals on 24 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss on Jan. 6.

Kevin Lankinen Stops 37 Shots On Friday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen stopped 37 of the 38 shots he saw en route to defeating the Minnesota Wild on Friday evening. The Canucks were heavily outshot in this contest but Lankinen was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the third period when Minnesota defenseman Brock Faber found the back of the net on the power-play. This outing extended Lankinen's winning streak to two games. During this stretch, he has held a strong .944 save percentage with a 1.51 GAA. Before this stretch, Lankinen held a modest 2-2-1 record over his last five games and posted a 2.65 GAA and a .894 save percentage. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to continue to see most of the starts in the Vancouver crease with Thatcher Demko (lower body) on the injured reserve. He will likely get the start again on Sunday against the Dallas Stars.

Kevin Lankinen Starting On Monday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will get the starting nod on Monday afternoon against Team Canada. After serving as the backup in their opening contest, Lankinen got the starting nod in their previous game and picked up the victory, and will now get the opportunity to extend his streak. However, he will have a much tougher task on Monday, facing Team Canada. In his previous contest, Lankinen stopped 21 of the 24 shots he faced en route to defeating Team Sweden in overtime. Team Finland would advance to the 4 Nations Championship if they were to defeat Team Canada in regulation. Canada was able to win their first game of the tournament in overtime but fell to Team USA on Saturday evening. Lankinen is an intriguing high-upside play in DFS as he could see a high shot volume facing a high-powered Canada offense.

Kevin Lankinen Will Start On Saturday

According to Elliotte Friedman, Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will get the starting nod for Team Finland on Saturday afternoon. Juuse Saros started for the team in their opening game but allowed six goals on 32 shots to Team USA. Instead, Finland will turn to their backup goaltender to face Team Sweden. The 29-year-old has been enjoying a career season with the Vancouver Canucks, as he has posted a 2.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage with a 19-8-7 record. Entering the tournament, he carried a 3-1 record over his last four games. During this stretch, he allowed two goals or less in three of the contests and made at least 24 saves in two of them. Lankinen will have a tougher matchup on Saturday's slate, but he could be an intriguing contrarian play in DFS as he has enjoyed a strong season at the NHL level.

Kevin Lankinen Unavailable On Saturday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen (illness) will not dress on Saturday against Boston. According to reports, there's a flu bug going around in the Canucks locker room, and Lankinen has caught the illness, along with defenseman Derek Forbort, who also won't play. Arturs Silovs has been brought up from the AHL to work as Thatcher Demko's backup on Saturday. After recovering from a knee injury, Demko made his season debut this week against St. Louis. He suffered a 4-3 loss in overtime, saving 21 of 25 shots. It might take a while before we see the best of Demko following his lengthy absence, but he's expected to produce a winning performance on Saturday, with Vancouver a -135 favorite in the matchup.

Kevin Lankinen Frustrates Panthers With Shutout Performance

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen became the third netminder in the league with three-plus shutouts for the season when he kept the Florida Panthers off the scoreboard with 27 saves in Thursday's 4-0 win. Lankinen did most of the work in the second frame, stopping 13 pucks. The Finnish netminder continues to impress this season and is now tied for the second-most wins in the league, sitting on a 14-4-3 record. He has allowed 2.52 goals with a .912 save percentage. Lankinen's good play should secure him regular action for the rest of the way, even with Thatcher Demko back in the fold.

Kevin Lankinen Busy On Friday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced in his victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. The Blue Jackets dominated the shot total, but Lankinen was able to lead the way. The Blue Jackets got out to an early two-goal lead thanks to Mathieu Olivier and Damon Severson in the opening frame. After this, Lankinen was able to shut the door to allow Vancouver to rally and eventually take the lead. The 29-year-old now boasts a 5-0-1 record over his previous six starts. During this span, he has posted a .920 save percentage with a 2.44 goals-against average. With Thatcher Demko nearing his return, fantasy managers should expect Lankinen to see a slight dip in playing time, but he could still be a viable fantasy asset in deeper formats given his excellent play.

Kevin Lankinen Earns Historic Win On Sunday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen continued his outstanding start to the season with another victory on Sunday against Detroit, setting a league record in the process. The 29-year-old became the first goalie in NHL history to win each of his first 10 road outings in a season. Lankinen has been in good form but needed quite a bit of help from the team this time, as the Canucks barely snuck past Detroit 5-4 in overtime. With Thatcher Demko (knee) on the shelf for the start of the season, Vancouver looked to have been in trouble, but Lankinen has held down the fort superbly, going 12-3-2 for the campaign. He has allowed 2.65 goals with a .907 save percentage and two shutouts. Demko is getting close to his season debut, but Lankinen's good play should guarantee him further opportunities in the Canucks crease.

Kevin Lankinen Shuts Out Bruins

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen registered a 32-save shutout against the Boston Bruins in Tuesday's 2-0 win. The 29-year-old continued his success in the Canucks crease in style, earning his second shutout of the season. Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck (3) is currently the only netminder in the league with more. Lankinen improved to 10-3-2 and has posted a 2.58 goals-against average with a .909 save percentage. The Finnish netminder has done a terrific job filling in for Thatcher Demko (knee). However, Demko is getting close to returning to action, which will be a blow to Lankinen's fantasy value.

Kevin Lankinen Holding Down The Fort Well For Canucks

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen has posted a 3-0-1 record for his new team through the first couple of weeks of the season. Spencer Martin (6 GP in 2021-22) is the only netminder to have enjoyed a longer point streak at the start of his tenure with the Canucks. Saturday's home game against Pittsburgh gives Lankinen an opportunity to register his first-ever four-game winning streak in the NHL. The Canucks appear to be in good hands until Thatcher Demko's (knee) return, with Lankinen starting the weekend's action with a 1.70 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage. He also has one shutout through his first four starts of the campaign.

Kevin Lankinen Gets The Nod On Friday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will start between the sticks in Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Finnish netminder gets a chance to make his team debut after Arturs Silovs struggled to keep the puck out of the net in Wednesday's season opener against Calgary. The Canucks have kicked off the season without their regular starter Thatcher Demko (knee), who remains without a timeline for his return. Lankinen boasts a 45-43-12 career record in the NHL. He has previously seen the Flyers two times, going 1-1-0. Lankinen is expected to bring home the first victory of the season for Vancouver on Friday, with the bookmakers having the hosts as an odds-on favorite for the matchup.

Kevin Lankinen Ends Three-Year Shutout Drought

Nashville Predators goaltender Kevin Lankinen put in a big performance in his 14th start of the season on Thursday against Florida, posting a 33-save shutout in an impressive 3-0 road win. It's his first shutout since March 25, 2021, when Lankinen also blanked the Panthers as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Predators' backup is now riding a four-game winning streak. Lankinen has done great behind Juuse Saros all year, going 10-4-0 with a 2.90 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage.

Kevin Lankinen Makes First Start Of The Season Tuesday

Nashville Predators goaltender Kevin Lankinen will record his first start of the season Tuesday against Vancouver. It will be his second appearance overall following a 40-minute relief effort on Oct. 18 against the Oilers. Lankinen gets the nod despite Juuse Saros' recent impressive run, which includes three wins in four games. Things went pretty well for Lankinen a season ago when he put together a 9-8-1 record with a 2.75 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. He carries a 34-37-12 career record. Lankinen comes in at a tough spot, as the Canucks have played some very stuff early in the year and sit among the best offensive teams in the league with a 3.88 goals-for average.

Kevin Lankinen Faces Dallas Saturday Night

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will record his 10th start of the season on Saturday against Dallas, looking to improve a 2-5-2 record. It's not been a great campaign for the Finnish netminder as he's registered a 3.39 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage. Saturday matchup looks pretty rough for him as well. The Stars have dropped five games in a row, but they have won eight of their last nine home outings. Lankinen has gone completely winless on the road this season, allowing 4.20 goals per game with a .859 save percentage.

Kevin Lankinen Starts For Chicago On Friday

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will guard the cage on Friday against St. Louis. The 26-year-old makes his seventh start of the season and will be looking for his second win. Lankinen recently kickstarted a four-game winning streak for the team with a 20-save effort against Nashville, but Marc-Andre Fleury has mostly carried Chicago this month. It was a nice debut season for Lankinen in 2020-21, but he's failed to build on it, going 1-3-2 so far with a 3.39 goals-against average and a .884 save percentage. The Blackhawks have improved lately, but this is still a rough spot for them, especially with St. Louis winning five in a row in the matchup.

Kevin Lankinen Allows Five Goals in Chicago Defeat

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen gave up five goals to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Unfortunately, he was hung out to dry by his team's defense or lack thereof. Chicago gave up a short-handed goal and power-play goal as well. There were at least a half dozen odd-man rushes allowed including several where Lankinen made highlight-reel saves. This game could have easily been 8-2 or 9-2. Lankinen faced just 33 shots but it looked like 53 at times.
