Kevin Lankinen News: Getting start Friday

Published on October 17, 2025

Lankinen will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Lankinen will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Thatcher Demko earned the win over the Stars on Thursday. In his season debut, Lankinen allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Blues. The 30-year-old will likely continue to handle a backup role overall, especially since Demko has started the season well.
