The 29-year-old Lankinen has earned his workload this season, being terrific in the crease for the Canucks, posting a 2.46 GAA and .911 SV% in 11 games (8-1-2).

Despite a hiccup in his previous outing, allowing seven goals on 27 shots (.741 SV%) in a 7-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, Lankinen has been terrific in the Vancouver crease and will return to the net for a fifth straight time on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 2.61 GAA and a .905 SV% in 10 games this season (7-1-2). The Canucks enter the action on Tuesday as sizeable -222 home favorites against a Flames club that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 last night.

The Canucks have outscored their opposition 8-3 in their last two games (2-0-0), both with Lankinen between the pipes, and will roll with him for a third straight contest on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 29-year-old Lankinen has been tremendous for the Canucks this season, allowing three or fewer goals in all but one contest, posting an elite 2.09 GAA and .923 SV% in eight games (6-0-2). The Canucks enter the action on Thursday as -117 road favorites against the Kings.

After allowing four goals on 32 shots (.875 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, snapping a four-game winning streak, Lankinen returned to his winning ways in his previous outing, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The 29-year-old Lankinen has been excellent between the pipes for the Canucks this season, boasting a stellar 2.25 GAA and .919 SV% in seven games (5-0-2). The Canucks enter the action on Tuesday as -230 road favorites against an Anaheim Ducks club with the worst offense in the league, averaging only 2.18 goals per game.

With Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Lankinen has taken the reins of the Vancouver crease and will start for a fifth straight game on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 29-year-old Lankinen is riding a four-game winning streak and has a stellar 1.95 GAA and .930 SV% through five games this season (4-0-1). That said, the Canucks enter action on Monday as +113 home underdogs against a Hurricanes club with a 5-2-0 record.

Lankinen has been tremendous to start the season and, at least while Thatcher Demko (lower body) continues to be sidelined, seems to have taken over the reins of the crease for the Canucks. The 29-year-old Lankinen has allowed two or fewer goalies in each of his three outings (2-0-1), boasting a sensational 1.28 GAA and .953 SV%. The Canucks enter action on Tuesday as -178 road favorites against a Chicago Blackhawks club that has scored two or fewer goals in two of their last three outings (1-2-0).

The Canucks are winless in three games this season and will turn to Lankinen between the pipes on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. Despite losing 3-2 in a shootout, Lankinen was stellar, the best goaltending performance this season for the Canucks, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%). The Canucks enter the action on Thursday as slight -106 road favorites against a Panthers club without their two biggest offensive threats, Matthew Tkachuk (illness) and Aleksander Barkov (lower body).

With Thatcher Demko likely sidelined for the next several weeks, the Canucks will rotate between Lankinen and Artus Silovs in the crease. Silovs started the season opener for the Canucks, a 6-5 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames, and will serve as the backup to Lankinen for their second game on Friday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 29-year-old Lankinen was serviceable as the Nashville Predators' backup goalie last season, posting a 2.82 GAA and .908 SV% in 24 outings (11-6-0). The Canucks enter action on Friday as -167 home favorites over the Flyers.

The Canucks needed goaltending depth because Thatcher Demko is still not 100 percent recovered from the injury that he suffered in the playoffs. It's unclear whether or not Demko will be ready for the start of the season, so Arturs Silovs and Lankinen could start the year as their goaltending duo. Most recently, Lankinen was with the Predators, where he was 11-6-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .908 SV% in 24 games in 2024.
