Starting in New York Lankinen will guard the road net Saturday against the Rangers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact It'll be the fourth straight start for Lankinen, who's gone 1-1-1 with an .890 save percentage in his last three outings. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 24-13-8 this season with a .903 save percentage and 2.56 GAA.

Allows four tallies Lankinen stopped 25 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Lankinen tended a clean first 35 minutes of Thursday's contest before the Blues scored three goals in the remaining two periods, including two in 24 seconds. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder holds a 24-13-8 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .903 save percentage. Since the start of March, Lankinen has been a bit below league average since the beginning of March with a 4-4-1 record and a .885 save percentage across nine starts. With Thatcher Demko still sidelined with a lower-body injury, Lankinen's frequent appearances between the pipes for Vancouver have fantasy value with the Canucks amid a tight race for a Western Conference Wild Card spot. His next opportunity to defend the crease is Saturday against the Rangers.

Broberg scores in OT to lift Blues over Canucks 4-3 for 4th straight win

Philip Broberg scored 3:42 into overtime and the St. Louis Blues beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 for their fourth straight victory

Expected to start Thursday Lankinen is set to start on the road against St. Louis on Thursday.

Impact Lankinen stopped 20 of 22 shots in a 6-2 victory over Winnipeg on Tuesday. He's 24-13-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 44 appearances in 2024-25. The Blues rank 18th in goals per game with 2.93. There will be a little added pressure on Lankinen to perform because Thatcher Demko is set to return from a lower-body injury Thursday. Demko will be the understudy in that tilt, but he might significantly eat into Lankinen's time down the stretch, especially if Lankinen struggles.

Secures win over Jets Lankinen stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Impact The Canucks led 3-1 after one period, and that was enough for Lankinen to get the win. The 29-year-old had lost three of his previous four outings, though he hasn't faced more than 26 shots in his last five games. For the season, the Finnish netminder improved to 24-13-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 44 appearances. The Canucks begin a six-game road trip in St. Louis on Thursday, and with no back-to-backs during their upcoming travels, Lankinen could end up seeing a heavy workload.

In goal Tuesday Lankinen will be between the home pipes Tuesday against Winnipeg, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Lankinen turned in a serviceable performance in a 3-1 loss to Utah on Sunday but received minimal offensive support. It's been an up-and-down month for the Finnish netminder -- Lankinen is 3-4-0 with an .886 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA over seven outings in March. The Jets have won three consecutive games and sit third in the NHL with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25. Lankinen has only faced the Jets once in his career -- he surrendered six goals on 33 shots in a 6-1 loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 14.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss against Utah Lankinen surrendered two goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Canucks had an opportunity to get some separation in the race for the second wild-card spot, but instead, they allowed Utah to tighten the pack. Lankinen didn't play poorly, but the scoring support just wasn't there in the second half of a back-to-back. This dropped Lankinen to 4-5-0 over nine games since the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he's now at 23-13-7 with a 2.54 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 43 outings this season. The Canucks' homestand ends with a challenging game Tuesday versus the Jets, which will likely be another turn in the crease for Lankinen.

Slated to start Lankinen is expected to protect the home net against Utah on Sunday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Lankinen will get the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back after Arturs Silovs played in Saturday's 6-2 win over Chicago. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 23-12-7 record with four shutouts, a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 42 appearances this campaign. Utah sits 22nd in the league with 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25.

Holds firm to earn shootout win Lankinen stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Impact Lankinen gave up a pair of goals to Jonathan Huberdeau in the second period, which put the Canucks behind. Elias Pettersson tied the game in the third, and Lankinen held firm, including stopping three of four attempts in the shootout, to secure the win in a game between two teams battling for a playoff spot. The 29-year-old netminder is 3-3-0 after starting six straight games to begin March, and he's allowed three or more goals in four of those contests. For the season, Lankinen sports a 23-12-7 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 42 appearances. The Canucks have another back-to-back up next, as they host the Blackhawks on Saturday and Utah on Sunday. It's unclear at this time if Arturs Silovs will be considered to start either of those games.

In goal again Wednesday Lankinen will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Wednesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Lankinen took a second consecutive loss in Tuesday's 4-2 defeat against the Canadiens. However, the Canucks are trying to keep pace in the playoff race, and Lankinen gives them a better chance to win than Arturs Silovs. The 29-year-old Lankinen is 3-4-0 with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage over his last seven outings, and he has a favorable matchup against the Flames' pedestrian offense.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight defeat Lankinen stopped 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. The fourth goal came on an empty-netter with 17 seconds left in the game.

Impact Lankinen was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, and now he's dropped three of his last five starts, posting a 2.85 GAA and an .884 save percentage in that stretch. The Canucks play again Wednesday at Calgary, so Lankinen could get the night off in the second leg of a back-to-back set. If that's the case, then Arturs Silovs would likely defend the Canucks' crease.

Starting first half of back-to-back Lankinen will tend the home twine Tuesday versus Montreal, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Lankinen will make his fifth straight start as Vancouver is battling for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The 29-year-old has had mixed results over four outings in March, going 2-2-0 with an .884 save percentage and a 2.79 GAA. The Canadiens have lost back-to-back games and were shutout 1-0 in Calgary on Saturday.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in Sunday's loss Lankinen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen had won three of his last four outings, but he didn't put in a great performance against a tough opponent. The Stars scored twice in the second period, and Jason Robertson added the third goal on Lankinen's line midway through the third to squash any hope of a Vancouver comeback. For the season, Lankinen slipped to 22-11-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 40 games. The Canucks have a back-to-back up next with a home game Tuesday versus the Canadiens followed by a trip to Calgary on Wednesday. It's one of two back-to-back sets over the next week, so Lankinen and Arturs Silovs appear poised to split the workload in that span, as it's unlikely Thatcher Demko (lower body) will be cleared to play during that stretch.
