Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Pulled after two periods
Lankinen allowed three goals on 13 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Red Wings.
Lankinen lasted just two periods before turning the crease over to Nikita Tolopilo. It's a sixth straight loss for Lankinen, who has gone 0-5-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .845 save percentage in that span. Overall, he's at 4-10-3 with a 3.49 GAA and an .878 save percentage through 17 outings. Thatcher Demko (lower body) is targeting a return Thursday versus the Sabres, though Demko's long injury history means Lankinen may still be needed for 40-50 percent of the Canucks' starts to avoid burning out their top netminder.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: First goalie off Monday
Lankinen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Detroit.
Lankinen is mired in a five-game losing streak, during which he is sporting a 0-4-1 record and 3.48 GAA. Since taking over for the injured Thatcher Demko (lower body), Lankinen has struggled between the pipes, registering a 2-6-3 record in 11 outings. At some point, the team may have to consider giving Nikita Tolopilo a shot if Demko remains unavailable long-term.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Poor performance in loss
Lankinen allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen is now 0-4-1 with 17 goals allowed during his five-game losing streak. The Mammoth were able to pot a goal in each period against the 30-year-old netminder. For the season, Lankinen has slipped to 4-9-3 with a 3.45 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 16 appearances. While he's getting plenty of playing time, his performance is too risky in fantasy. Nikita Tolopilo is likely to draw a tough start Saturday at home versus the Wild.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: First goalie off Friday
Lankinen was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus the Mammoth at home.
Lankinen is stuck in a four-game losing streak and has secured just one victory in his last eight outings, posting a 1-4-3 record and 3.42 GAA. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) still on injured reserve, fantasy managers can likely expect Nikita Tolopilo to take the second half of the back-to-back at home versus Minnesota on Saturday. For now, Lankinen should continue to see the bulk of the workload at least until Demko is cleared to play.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gets little help in loss
Lankinen stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Given the quality of the opponent, this was a decent performance for Lankinen. The Canucks scored once early in the first period, but they generated just 22 shots on net in total and couldn't cash in again. The 30-year-old netminder has lost four straight games (0-3-1), but he's been a little better in his two most recent losses with five goals allowed on 54 shots in that span. For the season, Lankinen is at a 4-8-3 record with a 3.48 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 15 appearances. The Canucks have a home back-to-back up next, as they'll host the Mammoth on Friday and the Wild on Saturday. Lankinen should get one of those games, while Nikita Tolopilo (personal) or Jiri Patera would be in line for the other.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Facing Avalanche
Lankinen will guard the road goal against Colorado on Tuesday, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports.
Lankinen is coming off a 21-save effort in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings. He has a 4-7-3 record this season with a 3.50 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 14 appearances. Colorado ranks first in the league with 4.12 goals per game this campaign.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Two goals allowed in overtime loss
Lankinen surrendered two goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.
Lankinen returned after missing two games for personal reasons. He wasn't able to shake off his skid, but he put in a decent performance in a low-scoring battle. Lankinen is at a 4-7-3 record on the year while adding a 3.50 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 14 appearances. Now that he's back with the team, he'll resume the No. 1 role in goal until Thatcher Demko (lower body) can return. Nikita Tolopilo is staying with the Canucks in the backup role after Jiri Patera was sent down Saturday. It's probably best to avoid Lankinen in fantasy for Tuesday's road game in Colorado.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Rejoins team, starting Saturday
Lankinen (personal) will start in goal on the road versus the Kings on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen was away from the Canucks for personal reasons to begin this road trip, but he'll return for the second half of it. His first start back sees him take on a Kings team that has scored 12 goals over the last six games, going 2-1-3 in that span.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Not going on road trip
Lankinen (personal) won't travel with the Canucks on the team's upcoming four-game trip, which begins against Anaheim on Wednesday.
Lankinen will be away from the team for personal reasons, and it's unclear when he will return. He has posted a 4-7-2 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) also unavailable, the Canucks recalled Jiri Patera from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday under emergency conditions. Patera and Nikita Tolopilo could compete for starts until Vancouver gets Lankinen or Demko back.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Struggles against Flames
Lankinen allowed five goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.
Lankinen wasn't at his best in this contest, taking his fifth loss in his last six outings. He's allowed at least four goals in four of those games, going 1-3-2 in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old netminder is at a 4-7-2 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .880 save percentage. While he's not playing well, the Canucks look to be sticking with Lankinen while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is on the shelf. The Canucks begin a tough road trip with a visit to Anaheim on Wednesday.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Facing Calgary
Lankinen will tend the home twine Sunday versus the Flames, according to Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Lankinen has been handling a heavy workload lately due to Thatcher Demko's lower-body injury. The 30-year-old Lankinen holds a 4-6-2 record, .886 save percentage and 3.49 GAA over 12 appearances this season. This should be a favorable matchup for the Finnish netminder -- Calgary defeated Dallas in a shootout Saturday, while the Canucks have been off since Thursday. Furthermore, the Flames sit last in the NHL with 2.26 goals per game in 2025-26.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Loses to Stars
Lankinen stopped 20 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Lankinen was unable to fend off a balanced attack from the Stars, who got a goal from each of their four forward lines. The 30-year-old netminder has gone 2-3-2 over seven games since taking over as the Canucks' primary goalie while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is out. Overall, Lankinen is at a 4-6-2 record with a 3.49 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 12 appearances. He's a risky goalie overall, but the Canucks' next game is Sunday versus the Flames, which is a good matchup should Lankinen get the start.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Expected to start Thursday
Lankinen is going through his starter's routine at morning skate, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com, and is slated to protect the home crease against Dallas on Thursday.
Lankinen got a rare night off Monday, as Jiri Patera gave up seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to Florida. Lankinen will get his seventh start in the last eight games. Lankinen is 4-5-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. The Stars are tied for 11th in NHL scoring, generating 3.20 goals per game.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gives up two goals in win
Lankinen stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.
Lankinen has started the Canucks' last six games, and although his 2-2-2 record isn't encouraging, he might be trending in the right direction after allowing two or fewer goals in two of his last three outings. The 30-year-old Finnish netminder has the No. 1 role locked up while Thatcher Demko (lower body) remains sidelined. Lankinen has gone 4-5-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 11 outings this season.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Starting sixth straight
Lankinen will get the start Sunday against the Lightning, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Since the injury to Thatcher Demko (lower body), Lankinen has been heavily leaned on by the Canucks. The 30-year-old Lankinen will play in his sixth straight contest despite coming out on the winning end just once in the previous five appearances. He carries a 3-5-2 record, 3.58 GAA and .886 save percentage into the contest against the Lightning, who have scored at least three goals in four consecutive games.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine against Carolina
Lankinen will draw the road start against Carolina on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Lankinen has seen increased playing time recently while Thatcher Demko (lower body) has been hampered by injuries. Lankinen has had mixed results over his last four appearances, going 1-2-1 with a 3.61 GAA and .884 save percentage during that time. He'll draw the start for the fourth time in five games Friday but will face a tough test against the Hurricanes, who rank third in the league with 3.69 goals per game.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Yields four goals in overtime loss
Lankinen allowed four goals on 38 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
The Canucks took a 3-2 lead with a Conor Garland power-play goal early in the second period, but Lankinen couldn't make it stand. The 30-year-old Lankinen is now 1-2-2 with 17 goals allowed over his last five games. Overall, he has a 3-5-2 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 10 appearances. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) set to miss another couple of weeks at a minimum, playing time is likely to remain steady for Lankinen, but fantasy managers may want to avoid him in tough matchups. The Canucks will wrap up this road trip with a back-to-back, as they visit the Lightning on Sunday and the Panthers on Monday.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Takes loss in relief outing
Lankinen stopped 20 of 21 shots in relief of Thatcher Demko (lower body) in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
The Canucks were able to cover Demko's damage from the first period, leaving Lankinen to take the loss despite a sharp performance. The injury to Demko is unrelated to his previous undisclosed issue that kept him out of action over this past weekend. It's likely Lankinen will retake control of the No. 1 job between the pipes, and Jiri Patera will be his backup as long as Demko is out. Lankinen is now 3-5-1 with a 3.57 GAA and an .885 save percentage over nine appearances. The Canucks begin a three-game road trip versus the Hurricanes on Friday.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to start again Sunday
Lankinen will be between the home pipes Sunday against Colorado, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen was in goal for Saturday's 4-3 win over Columbus, but he'll start again Sunday as a result of Thatcher Demko dealing with an undisclosed injury. Lankinen will look to win two straight games for the first time this year, but that will be a challenge against a Colorado squad that is rolling -- the Avs are 4-0-1 in their last five games and scored nine goals during Saturday's win in Edmonton. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed fewer than three goals in just one of his seven appearances this season, so he'll be hard to trust Sunday.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Handed overtime loss
Lankinen stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Starting on consecutive days, Lankinen had his hands full with a tough opponent. The 30-year-old netminder never received a lead to protect, though he did a decent job of making sure the deficit never got larger than two goals. He's now 3-4-1 with a 3.71 GAA and an .879 save percentage over eight starts. Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is likely to resume No. 1 goalie duties once healthy, but it's unclear when that will happen. In the meantime, Lankinen appears set for most of the starts, as the Canucks appear reluctant to get Jiri Patera involved in anything more than an emergency capacity. The Canucks host the Jets on Tuesday before embarking on a three-game road trip that starts Friday in Raleigh against the Hurricanes.
