Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Lankinen is dealing with an illness and unlikely to suit up Tuesday versus the Sabres, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.
Arturs Silovs was called up under emergency conditions Tuesday, and Lankinen's illness is the reason why. Assuming Lankinen doesn't suit up, his next chance to play is Thursday in Edmonton. Thatcher Demko was already confirmed to start Tuesday by head coach Rick Tocchet earlier in the day.

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

Lankinen will be between the road pipes in Tuesday's road matchup versus the Jets, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

He's surrendered 10 goals on 94 shots through five appearances in January, going 2-1-2 during that stretch. Winnipeg ranks third in the NHL with 3.55 goals per game.

Lankinen made 20 saves Saturday in a 3-0 win over Toronto.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Slated to face Toronto
Lankinen is set to start on the road against Toronto on Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Lankinen is 0-1-2 across his past three starts, but he limited the competition to two or fewer goals on two occasions. He's 15-7-6 with a 2.60 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 28 outings this season. Toronto ranks 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

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

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

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Rough night in Montreal
Lankinen turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
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. However, the 29-year-old netminder has been fighting the puck for a while -- Lankinen's gone 1-3-2 over his last six outings with a 3.05 GAA and an .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.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine in Montreal
Lankinen will be between the road pipes versus the Canadiens on Monday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
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.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: 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.
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.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to start Friday
Lankinen is expected to start at home against Nashville on Friday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Lankinen has a 15-6-4 record, 2.60 GAA and .907 save percentage in 25 appearances in 2024-25. He'll be playing for the second straight day after entering Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken because Thatcher Demko suffered a back injury. Lankinen stopped 13 of 15 shots in 37:11 of ice time and was perfect in three shootout rounds. Nashville ranks last in goals per game with 2.39.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Picks up shootout win
Lankinen stopped 13 of 15 shots he faced in relief of Thatcher Demko (back) in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
Lankinen squandered a two-goal lead in the third period, but he stepped up in overtime and turned aside all three Seattle attempts in the shootout. The 29-year-old entered the game just before the midway mark in the second period after Demko's back started to give him trouble. It's probable Lankinen will start Friday versus his former team, the Predators. If the Canucks have to call up a goalie from AHL Abbotsford, likely Arturs Silovs, it would require a trip from Laval, Quebec, where the minor-league team is scheduled for road games Friday and Saturday. Lankinen is now 15-6-4 with a 2.60 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 25 appearances this season, his most games played in three years.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Loses to Flames
Lankinen allowed two goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen has taken three straight losses (0-2-1), allowing nine goals on 70 shots in that span. This was the second time in that stretch the Canucks have given him just one goal of support. The Finnish netminder is down to 14-6-4 with a 2.59 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 outings this season. Thatcher Demko is likely to get the nod Thursday in Seattle, though he was in net for Saturday's third-period meltdown against the Kraken.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine in Calgary
Lankinen will start in Tuesday's divisional matchup against the Flames, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Lankinen had his worst performance of the month in his last start, allowing five goals in an overtime loss to Ottawa. The 29-year-old hasn't been great in December, but he's been serviceable for the most part, posting a 3-2-2 record, 2.68 GAA and .902 save percentage through seven appearances. In three career starts versus Calgary, Lankinen has a 2-1-0 record, 1.81 GAA and .943 save percentage. The Flames rank 27th in the NHL with 2.64 goals per game in 2024-25.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Stumbles in overtime loss
Lankinen allowed five goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Lankinen had one of his worst games of the year. The Canucks were able to overcome three of the deficits he created, but Jake Sanderson ended it in favor of the Senators just 13 seconds into overtime. This was Lankinen's second start and defeat in a row (0-1-1), dropping him to 14-5-4 with a 2.61 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 23 starts this season. Expect Thatcher Demko to get the starting nod Monday versus the Sharks.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to start Saturday
Lankinen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Saturday versus Ottawa.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gives up two goals in loss
Lankinen allowed two goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen returned from an illness and put in a good effort to keep the game even through two periods. William Karlsson had the game-winning goal early in the third period, sending Lankinen to his third loss in his last five outings. The 29-year-old netminder dropped to 14-5-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 22 games. Thatcher Demko will likely start Saturday versus the Senators, and it's possible the Canucks opt for some sort of timeshare in the crease now that both goalies are healthy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Vegas
Lankinen is expected to start in Thursday's road tilt against Vegas.
Lankinen earned a 27-save shutout over Florida in his previous start last Thursday. He was briefly unavailable after that game due to an illness, but Lankinen was healthy enough to dress as the backup netminder Wednesday. The 29-year-old goaltender has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Vegas ranks sixth in goals per game with 3.45.

Lankinen (illness) is no longer dealing with flu symptoms but won't start in Wednesday's road game against Utah.
Head coach Rick Tocchet said Lankinen could have played Wednesday if needed, but the bench boss decided to start Thatcher Demko to give Lankinen an extra day off. Lankinen is instead likely to play between the pipes in Vegas on Thursday. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25.

Lankinen will miss his second straight game despite participating in Monday's morning skate. Arturs Silovs will be the backup behind Thatcher Demko against the Avalanche. Lankinen will receive additional time to recover ahead of Vancouver's road back-to-back against Utah and Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
