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.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Grinds out win over Columbus
Lankinen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
The teams traded two goals apiece in the second period, and the third was close as well. Lankinen did just enough for the win, making a Brock Boeser tally with 5:45 to go in regulation stand as the game-winner. Lankinen has allowed at least three goals in six of seven outings, so he's been far from his best behind a team that's been battered by injuries. He's now 3-4-0 with a 3.54 GAA and an .884 save percentage in seven starts. Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday versus the Avalanche, and it's possible the Canucks turn back to Lankinen rather than give Jiri Patera a start against an incredibly tough opponent. However, no plans have been announced yet.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Facing Blue Jackets
Lankinen will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Lankinen has a 2-4-0 record this season while allowing 22 goals on 184 shots. Jiri Patera will be the backup netminder, and Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) will get the night off to rest. The Blue Jackets sit 16th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this campaign.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Unravels in third period
Lankinen stopped 23 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen kept the game scoreless through two periods, but the Blackhawks rattled off four goals in 11:37 to start the third. That was enough to send Lankinen to another loss, dropping him to 2-4-0 with a 3.62 GAA and an .880 save percentage over six starts this season. He shouldn't have to wait long for his next start, as the Canucks play a back-to-back this weekend. They host the Blue Jackets on Saturday followed by the Avalanche on Sunday, so look for Lankinen and Thatcher Demko to split those starts.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Expected to face Chicago
Lankinen is set to start at home against Chicago on Wednesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen has a 2-3-0 record, 3.53 GAA and .885 save percentage in five appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. He's surrendered at least three goals in four of those five outings, but he could bounce back against the Blackhawks. Chicago has dropped three straight games (0-2-1) while scoring only six goals over that stretch.

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.
