Lankinen stopped all 13 of 13 shots in relief his last time between the pipes as he filled in after Jusse Saaros was pulled vs. Seattle after four goals on six shots. The Predators' backup has been great this season, with a 2-1-0 record along with his .940 SV% and 1.91 GAA. Lankinen will take on an Avalanche team that is coming off back-to-back wins over Columbus in Finland and ranks eighth in the NHL in GF/GP with 3.55 per game.
