2025 Fantasy Outlook
Considering he wasn't even signed until training camp, Lankinen's performance for the Canucks was absolutely massive, especially considering Thatcher Demko never really looked comfortable after a long-term knee injury. Lankinen finished the season with a 25-15-10 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .902 save percentage. Those weren't league-winning numbers in fantasy, but he was plenty helpful for managers who plucked him off the waiver wire early on. The 30-year-old won't be facing uncertainity in his playing situation for a while, as he earned a five-year contract extension in February. Lankinen and Demko figure to share the crease, and while Lankinen might not be a full-time starter, he's still no worse than a No. 3 option in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with the Canucks in February of 2025.
Picks up shootout win
Lankinen stopped 36 of 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
ANALYSIS
The Blues had far more pressure in the game, but Kiefer Sherwood's hat trick and Lankinen's play between the pipes got the game to a shootout. There, Lankinen made three more saves to secure the win, which was just his second in five outings. He's at a 2-3-0 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .885 save percentage. The 30-year-old has filled a backup role behind Thatcher Demko, though the Canucks have not given more than two consecutive starts to Demko, so Lankinen should still carve out a decent amount of playing time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Moving from rebuilding Chicago to Nashville meant Lankinen had significantly less playing time in 2022-23. Working as a backup to Juuse Saros, Lankinen had a 9-8-1 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .916 save percentage. Those numbers are more in line with his rookie year, so it's safe to say Lankinen is a fairly solid backup, though he'll feel a bit of a hot seat as the only thing standing between top prospect Yaroslav Askarov and an NHL job. Lankinen will want to perform well in his walk year, and if the Predators fall out of contention (or maybe even if they don't), he could be on the move at the trade deadline to shore up a contender's depth in the crease.
