Lankinen is slated to guard the road goal against Florida on Thursday, per Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Sun.
Lankinen has made one start this season, stopping 29 of 31 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout loss to Philadelphia. Although he got the loss, if he has more strong showings like that, Lankinen might be able to eat into Arturs Silovs' workload. The two are competing for starts while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains unavailable.
