KEVIN LANKINEN NEWS

Stands no chance against Jets Lankinen gave up six goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Lankinen followed up a shutout win over the Maple Leafs with a stinker of a result Tuesday. Kyle Connor put up a natural hat trick in the first period and the Jets hardly let up in the contest as they ran away with the win. Lankinen has lost five of his last seven outings, though he's allowed more than two goals just twice in that span. He's 16-8-6 with a 2.63 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 30 games played, and he's likely to surpass his career highs of 37 appearances and 17 wins. It's likely Thatcher Demko will get a chance to start Thursday versus the Kings.

Slated to face Toronto Lankinen is set to start on the road against Toronto on Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Impact Lankinen is 0-1-2 across his past three starts, but he limited the competition to two or fewer goals in two of those outings. He's 15-7-6 with a 2.60 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 28 outings overall. Toronto ranks 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

Gets little help in OT loss Lankinen made 16 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder shut down most of the Washington lineup, but Pierre-Luc Dubois got pucks past him late in the first period and in the final minute of OT, and the Vancouver offense wasn't able to get much going. Lankinen has appeared in five straight games, starting four of them, while Thatcher Demko has dealt with back spasms, but he's gone just 1-2-2 with a 2.59 GAA and .882 save percentage. Demko dressed as the backup Wednesday, and he could resume No. 1 duties as soon as Saturday's game in Carolina.

Draws start against Washington Lankinen will start Wednesday's road game against the Capitals, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Although Thatcher Demko (back) is close to returning to game action, Lankinen will draw the start for the fourth time in the Canucks' last five games. Lankinen hasn't been particularly dominant recently, going 1-3-2 with a 3.05 GAA and .865 save percentage over his last six outings. He could have difficulty bouncing back Wednesday, as the Capitals lead the league with 3.70 goals per game.

Rough night in Montreal Lankinen turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Two of the goals against Lankinen came on Montreal power plays, including Nick Suzuki's OT winner, while a third tally deflected in off Quinn Hughes' skate. The 29-year-old netminder has been fighting the puck for a while, however -- Lankinen's gone 1-3-2 over his last six outings with a 3.05 GAA and .865 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (back) is traveling with the Canucks on their current east-coast road trip, but it's not clear when he might be ready to return. If he's not able to play Wednesday in Washington, Arturs Silovs might be between the pipes instead of Lankinen.

Tending twine in Montreal Lankinen will be between the road pipes versus the Canadiens, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen will make his 27th appearance of the season Monday -- the 29-year-old is sporting a 15-7-4 record, .908 save percentage and 2.54 GAA. Montreal is tied for 19th in the NHL with 2.95 goals per game. While their record is nothing to write home about, the Canadiens have played very well lately, going 4-1-0 in their last five games.

Unlucky loss Friday Lankinen allowed one goal on 17 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Lankinen played fairly well, but Steven Stamkos' second-period tally was the difference in this low-event game. This was Lankinen's fourth loss in his last five outings, and his only win in that span was in a relief appearance versus the Kraken on Thursday. He's now 15-7-4 with a 2.54 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. Lankinen is likely to occupy the starting role for the Canucks until Thatcher Demko (back) is able to return.
