Kevin Lankinen

Kevin Lankinen allowed four goals on 34 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blues. St. Louis' fifth and final tally was scored into an empty net. Lankinen made 30 saves in his first start of the campaign.

Fantasy Impact

This was Lankinen's first start of the season, and it does little to change his fantasy outlook. He serves as the clear backup to Thatcher Demko and will likely only see action in back-to-back situations or to give the starter a rest. Fantasy managers in standard leagues can leave Lankinen on the waiver wire, though he may have some value as a spot starter or handcuff in deeper formats.

Kevin Lankinen allowed three goals on 29 shots faced in the Canucks' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

Lankinen has not been a reliable option between the pipes of late, allowing three or more goals in six of his last seven starts (4-2-1) for the Canucks. The 29-year-old will look to return to his early-season form in the crease for fantasy managers, carrying a 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage in 18 starts (12-3-3, two shutouts) in goal so far this season.

Kevin Lankinen was stellar in the crease for the Canucks Tuesday night, stopping all 32 shots faced in a 2-0 win over the Bruins.

Fantasy Impact

Lankinen has struggled in net of late for the Canucks, allowing three or more goal in four of his last six starts (3-3-0). The 29-year-old has been steady when called upon overall to this point, posting a .909 save percentage and 2.56 GAA in 15 starts between the pipes (10-3-2, two shutouts) so far this season.

Kevin Lankinen was stout in net for the Predators Tuesday night, stopping 39 of 40 shots faced in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

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.

Kevin Lankinen was solid in net for the Predators Friday night, stopping 30 of 32 shots faced in a 3-2 win over the Capitals.

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.
