Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Picks up shootout win
Lankinen stopped 36 of 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
The Blues had far more pressure in the game, but Kiefer Sherwood's hat trick and Lankinen's play between the pipes got the game to a shootout. There, Lankinen made three more saves to secure the win, which was just his second in five outings. He's at a 2-3-0 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .885 save percentage. The 30-year-old has filled a backup role behind Thatcher Demko, though the Canucks have not given more than two consecutive starts to Demko, so Lankinen should still carve out a decent amount of playing time.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face St. Louis
Lankinen is expected to guard the road goal against St. Louis on Thursday, per Olivia McDonald of Canucks Insider.
Lankinen has a 1-3-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .873 save percentage in four appearances this season. He's dropped his past two outings while allowing nine goals on 50 shots (.820 save percentage). The Blues are 3-6-1 and tied for 21st in goals per game with 2.90 this year, so this is a favorable matchup.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Rough start to season continues
Lankinen allowed four goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Lankinen has gone 1-3-0 over his first four outings this season, allowing at least four goals in each loss. The 30-year-old squandered a 2-0 lead in this contest. The Canucks have alternated Lankinen and Thatcher Demko over the last eight games, but head coach Adam Foote may eventually opt to increase Demko's workload since he's getting better results. Lankinen is likely to watch from the bench in Sunday's game against the Oilers.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine Saturday
Lankinen will draw the home start against Montreal on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen will look to bounce back from a 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has been a rock-solid backup option for the Canucks, but he is off to a sluggish start with a 1-2-0 record through three appearances this season.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Iced by Pens
Lankinen made 21 saves in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.
The veteran netminder couldn't really be faulted for any of the pucks that got past him, but Lankinen also didn't come up with any big stops to give his team a spark in the road loss. Through three starts this season, he's gone 1-2-0 while allowing 11 goals on 94 shots, a far cry from Thatcher Demko's 2.28 GAA and .922 save percentage in four outings.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Facing Pittsburgh
Lankinen will start in Tuesday's road game versus the Penguins, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.
Lankinen has a 1-1-0 record during the early portion of the 2025-26 campaign, turning aside a combined 62 of 68 shots (.912 save percentage) across two appearances. The Penguins have won back-to-back games, scoring seven goals over that span. Lankinen is 1-0-0 with a 2.21 GAA and a .900 save percentage in two career outings against Pittsburgh.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Comes away with shootout win
Lankinen allowed two goals on 33 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
Lankinen gave up first-period goals to Ryan Donato and Tyler Bertuzzi, but the Vancouver goalie was perfect after that. The Canucks were able to pull even in the second, and Lankinen also turned aside four shootout attempts before Brock Boeser secured the win. Lankinen is now 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 68 shots over his two games. The Canucks' defense hasn't been making it easy on him, but he's capable of putting in a decent effort in a backup role. Expect Thatcher Demko to get the starting nod Sunday versus the Capitals.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Getting start Friday
Lankinen will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Lankinen will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Thatcher Demko earned the win over the Stars on Thursday. In his season debut, Lankinen allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Blues. The 30-year-old will likely continue to handle a backup role overall, especially since Demko has started the season well.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gives up four goals Monday
Lankinen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blues. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 2:13 left in the game.
Lankinen gave up two goals to prospect Jimmy Snuggerud, including one on the power play, and was also beaten by Brayden Schenn and Nick Bjugstad. This was Lankinen's first start of the season, but he figures to return to his regular backup role when the Canucks take on the Stars on the road Thursday, with Thatcher Demko likely returning to the starting lineup.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Guarding cage versus Blues
Lankinen will be between the home pipes against St. Louis on Monday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen will make his first appearance in the crease for the Canucks this season after Thatcher Demko took the opening two contests. Lankinen logged 51 regular-season games for Vancouver last season, going 25-15-10 with a 2.62 GAA and four shutouts, thanks in large part to Demko's injury woes. Assuming Demko is healthy in 2025-26, Lankinen should see significantly fewer starts, likely closer to the 20-25 range.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Between pipes Wednesday
Lankinen will tend the twine in Wednesday's road preseason game versus the Flames, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen is set to make his second start of the preseason. The 30-year-old netminder will get this start because Thatcher Demko (personal) is away from the team. Lankinen is capable of taking on a starting role as necessary, but he is projected to serve as the Canucks' No. 2 option as long as Demko is available most of the time in 2025-26.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Slated to start Friday
Lankinen is partaking in the starter's drills with the Vancouver goaltending coach, indicating he will patrol the home crease versus Seattle on Friday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Lankinen returned to practice Friday after spending a couple of days with his wife after she gave birth Wednesday. Lankinen was stellar in 2024-25, taking over the No. 1 job in Vancouver after Thatcher Demko missed most of the regular season with back woes. Lankinen was 25-15-10 with four shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 51 contests in 2024-25.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Appears to move past injury
Lankinen (undisclosed) participated in Thursday's practice, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic, which suggests that he's healthy going into training camp.
Lankinen left Vancouver's final game of the 2024-25 campaign due to an undisclosed injury. He had a 25-15-10 record, 2.62 GAA and .902 save percentage in 51 appearances with the Canucks last year. Although Lankinen got plenty of work last season, Thatcher Demko will likely get the majority of Vancouver's starts this season as long as he stays healthy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Leaves game with muscle strain
Lankinen suffered an undisclosed muscle strain that forced him to exit Wednesday's game versus the Golden Knights, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Lankinen stopped 19 of 20 shots prior to his exit, and he won't end up with a result from the contest, as the scored was tied at 1-1. Nikita Tolopilo took over in goal for the Canucks. Lankinen ends 2024-25 with a 25-15-10 record, a 2.62 GAA, a .902 save percentage and four shutouts over 51 appearances. If the injury is significant, or even moderate, Lankinen may not be an option for Finland at the 2025 IIHF World Championship.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Vegas
Lankinen is expected to start at home against Vegas on Wednesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen has lost five of his past six appearances (1-2-3) while allowing 21 goals on 178 shots (.882 save percentage). He's 25-15-10 with a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 50 outings in 2024-25. Vegas is tied for fifth in the NHL in goals per game with 3.33, but the Golden Knights will probably rest some players as they prepare for the playoffs.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Can't hold on versus Wild
Lankinen stopped 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
The Canucks made the most of their chances early, building a 2-0 lead through two periods. Lankinen couldn't make it stick, giving up third-period tallies to Brock Faber and Marcus Foligno before Mats Zuccarello completed the Wild's comeback in overtime. Lankinen has five losses in his last six games, going 1-2-3 with 21 goals allowed. The 29-year-old is at 25-15-10 with a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 50 appearances. Lankinen proved his value by stabilizing the crease when Thatcher Demko was out of action early in the season, but Lankinen's 10 overtime and shootout losses show just how much was left on the table this year. The Canucks host the Sharks on Monday and the Golden Knights on Wednesday to close out 2024-25.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Slated to face Minnesota
Lankinen is set to start at home against Minnesota on Saturday, CanucksArmy reports.
Lankinen has a 25-15-9 record, 2.63 GAA and .901 save percentage in 49 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 31 of 32 shots en route to a 4-1 win over Colorado in his last start Thursday. With Thatcher Demko (illness) unavailable, Nikita Tolopilo will be Lankinen's backup. Minnesota ranks 26th in goals per game with 2.74.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Strong showing against Avalanche
Lankinen stopped 31 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
Lankinen didn't have to deal with Nathan MacKinnon (undisclosed), which ended up making the Avalanche a much easier opponent. This was Lankinen's second win in his last seven outings, and the first time in five games he's allowed fewer than three goals. He's now at a 25-15-9 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 49 appearances. The Canucks are out of playoff contention, so Lankinen could see an uptick in playing time if the team decides not to risk Thatcher Demko's health over the last three games.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Patrolling crease versus Avs
Lankinen will guard the cage on the road against Colorado on Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Lankinen has appeared in just two of the Canucks' last eight contests and has lost four straight games, during which he's posted a 4.19 GAA. With the Canucks eliminated from playoff contention, the team will likely split the last four games between Lankinen and Thatcher Demko. Assuming that's the case, Lankinen's next outing will likely be against the Sharks at home Monday.
