Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gives up two goals in loss
Lankinen allowed two goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen returned from an illness and put in a good effort to keep the game even through two periods. William Karlsson had the game-winning goal early in the third period, sending Lankinen to his third loss in his last five outings. The 29-year-old netminder dropped to 14-5-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 22 games. Thatcher Demko will likely start Saturday versus the Senators, and it's possible the Canucks opt for some sort of timeshare in the crease now that both goalies are healthy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Vegas
Lankinen is expected to start in Thursday's road tilt against Vegas.
Lankinen earned a 27-save shutout over Florida in his previous start last Thursday. He was briefly unavailable after that game due to an illness, but Lankinen was healthy enough to dress as the backup netminder Wednesday. The 29-year-old goaltender has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Vegas ranks sixth in goals per game with 3.45.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Available, won't start vs. Utah
Lankinen (illness) is no longer dealing with flu symptoms but won't start in Wednesday's road game against Utah.
Head coach Rick Tocchet said Lankinen could have played Wednesday if needed, but the bench boss decided to start Thatcher Demko to give Lankinen an extra day off. Lankinen is instead likely to play between the pipes in Vegas on Thursday. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Not ready to return
Lankinen (illness) won't be in the lineup for Monday's home matchup against Colorado, according Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Lankinen will miss his second straight game despite participating in Monday's morning skate. Arturs Silovs will be the backup behind Thatcher Demko against the Avalanche. Lankinen will receive additional time to recover ahead of Vancouver's road back-to-back against Utah and Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Dealing with illness
Lankinen isn't expected to dress for Saturday's home game against Boston due to an illness, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Thatcher Demko is set to start against the Bruins, and Arturs Silovs was recalled from AHL Abbotsford to serve as Demko's understudy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Picks up third shutout of season
Lankinen posted a 27-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.
Lankinen had allowed at least three goals in four of his last five outings, but he was strong against the defending champions in this contest. The 29-year-old is up to three shutouts this season, matching his total from his first four years combined. Lankinen improved to 14-4-3 with a 2.52 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 21 outings. His strong play and the recent return of Thatcher Demko (knee) gives the Canucks one of the strongest goaltending tandems in the league. Lankinen remains a decent fantasy play any time he gets the nod.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Between pipes against Florida
Lankinen was the first goalie off Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against Florida.
Lankinen got the night off Tuesday against the Blues, but he'll draw the start for the sixth time in the Canucks' last seven games Thursday. Across his last five outings, he's posted a 3-1-1 record, 2.91 GAA and .905 save percentage. The 29-year-old netminder will likely have his hands full Thursday, as the Panthers rank fifth in the NHL with 3.66 goals per game.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Unable to withstand Tampa Bay
Lankinen conceded three goals on 31 shots Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen allowed just one goal at even strength in the defeat, but Tampa Bay's eighth-ranked power play was able to strike twice. The Finnish netminder is 5-1-1 over his last seven starts, but his workload will likely decrease in the near future -- Thatcher Demko returned from a knee injury Friday. Lankinen's strong play between the pipes (13-4-3 record, .908 save percentage and 2.65 GAA) has likely afforded Vancouver the luxury of easing Demko back into game action. If Demko can stay healthy, he and Lankinen form an extremely formidable tandem in goal.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Guarding goal Sunday
Lankinen will patrol the home crease Sunday against Tampa Bay, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen is coming off a 30-save performance in Friday's 5-2 win over Columbus. He has a 13-3-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Lankinen has been superb for the Canucks and could share starts with Thatcher Demko as the latter works his way back to game speed after recovering from a knee injury.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Sharp in win
Lankinen stopped 30 of 32 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Blue Jackets came out hot with two goals in the first period, but Lankinen shut the door the rest of the way. The 29-year-old picked up his fifth win in the last six starts, though this was just the second time in that span he allowed fewer than three goals. He's now at 13-3-3 with a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 19 appearances. Thatcher Demko (knee) served as backup Friday and will likely claim at least a 50-50 split in goal moving forward, though the Canucks have kept Arturs Silovs around for now as extra insurance in goal. It's possible Demko makes his season debut Sunday versus the Lightning.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Columbus
Lankinen is expected to start at home against Columbus on Friday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Lankinen has a 12-3-3 record, 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage in 18 appearances in 2024-25. Those are acceptable numbers, but he's been vulnerable recently, allowing at least three goals in six of his past seven outings. Thatcher Demko (knee) will serve as the understudy Friday, and Demko's return will enable Vancouver to lean far less on Lankinen going forward. In the meantime, the Blue Jackets shouldn't be taken lightly. They rank eighth in goals per game with 3.44.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Suffers OT loss
Lankinen stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Lankinen was only a few seconds away from deciding the game in a shootout, but Kirill Kaprizov had other plans and blasted a wrister past him with only 24 seconds left in OT. That goal ended Lankinen's four-game winning streak, but one overtime loss shouldn't worry fantasy managers too much. The 29-year-old has been solid of late, going 6-3-1 with a 3.12 GAA with an .894 save percentage over his last 10 games, though those numbers improve to 4-0-1 with a 2.52 GAA and a .917 save percentage when analyzing his last five appearances.

Lankinen will defend the road net versus Minnesota on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Four-game win streak
Lankinen made 27 saves on 31 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Lankinen has now won back-to-back games in overtime, and he extended his win streak to four in the process. In addition, Lankinen became the first goaltender in NHL history to win his first 10 road games to start the season. The 29-year-old has been a bargain for the Canucks on a one-year, $875,000 deal signed with the club in September -- he has 12 of Vancouver's 13 victories and is tied for second in the NHL in wins. Lankinen is up to a 12-3-2 record, .907 save percentage and 2.65 GAA through 17 appearances.

Lankinen will guard the road goal against Detroit on Sunday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Nabs third consecutive win
Lankinen stopped 31 of 34 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
Lankinen picked up his third straight win Friday, and he's faced at least 29 shots in each game during that span while allowing a combined six goals on 95 shots. The 29-year-old could be relegated to the No. 2 netminding role in the near future, as Thatcher Demko (knee) is progressing toward making his 2024-25 debut. Lankinen is up to a 11-3-2 record, .909 save percentage and 2.57 GAA through 16 outings. The Finnish goaltender is tied for second in the NHL in wins (11) with Jake Oettinger and Sergei Bobrovsky.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Starting Friday
Lankinen will patrol the road crease in Buffalo on Friday, Brian Koziol of WGR 550reports.
Lankinen shut out the Bruins in his last start, turning aside 33 shots in a 2-0 victory. Lankinen is 10-3-2 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.56 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 15 starts in 2024-25. The Sabres are averaging 3.09 goals per game this season, 15th in the NHL.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Posts 32-save shutout
Lankinen stopped all 32 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the Bruins on Tuesday.
Lankinen earned his second shutout this season, which was also the fifth of his career. This was a strong performance for the 29-year-old, as the Bruins outshot the Canucks 32-15 for the game. Lankinen is the seventh goalie to reach the 10-win mark this season, doing so in 15 games at a 10-3-2 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .909 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (knee) is making progress in his recovery, but Lankinen has played well enough as the No. 1 so far that it may benefit the Canucks to deploy those two goalies in a tandem once Demko comes off injured reserve. It'll likely be Arturs Silovs starting in goal Wednesday versus the Penguins.

Lankinen will patrol the blue paint in Tuesday's road matchup with the Bruins, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet relays.

The Finnish netminder is sporting a 9-3-2 record, .901 save percentage and 2.74 GAA through 14 appearances. The 29-year-old will face a Bruins club that ranks 32nd in the NHL with 2.32 goals per game through 22 contests.
