Kevin Lankinen Stops 37 Shots On Friday
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen stopped 37 of the 38 shots he saw en route to defeating the Minnesota Wild on Friday evening. The Canucks were heavily outshot in this contest but Lankinen was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the third period when Minnesota defenseman Brock Faber found the back of the net on the power-play. This outing extended Lankinen's winning streak to two games. During this stretch, he has held a strong .944 save percentage with a 1.51 GAA. Before this stretch, Lankinen held a modest 2-2-1 record over his last five games and posted a 2.65 GAA and a .894 save percentage. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to continue to see most of the starts in the Vancouver crease with Thatcher Demko (lower body) on the injured reserve. He will likely get the start again on Sunday against the Dallas Stars.
