Next Game

Fantasy Impact
Lankinen has been impressive in limited work in the crease of late for the Predators, allowing two goals or less in three of his last five starts (3-1-1, .920 save percentage) for the club. The 32-year-old netminder has been solid when called upon despite being extremely limited behind No. 1 goaltender Juuse Saros, posting a .924 save percentage and 2.64 GAA in 11 appearances (5-4-1) between the pipes so far this season.

Fantasy Impact
Lankinen has been inconsistent while receiving limited work of late, allowing five goals in three of his last six starts (2-3-1, .902 save percentage) for the Predators. The 27-year-old is not worth rostering due to being firmly behind No. 1 goaltender Juuse Saros, carrying a 2.81 GAA and .918 save percentage in 10 appearances (4-4-1) in the crease so far this season.

Fantasy Impact
Lankinen has been fairly solid in his limited opportunities as the backup goaltender in Nashville, allowing two goals or less in four of six starts in the crease.

Lankinen stopped 32-of-35 shots-on-goal for a .914 save-percentage in the 4-3 overtime win.
