Lankinen will defend the home crease against the Devils on Friday, Olivia McDonald of CanucksInsider.com reports.
Lankinen hasn't been particularly sharp since the start of the calendar year, going 1-4-1 with a 3.32 GAA and .893 save percentage over his last seven outings. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Devils, who are scoring 2.56 goals per game this season, which is the third-worst mark in the NHL.
