Stands no chance against Jets
GVancouver Canucks
January 14, 2025
Lankinen gave up six goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lankinen followed up a shutout win over the Maple Leafs with a stinker of a result Tuesday. Kyle Connor put up a natural hat trick in the first period, and the Jets hardly let up in the contest as they ran away with the win. Lankinen has lost five of his last seven outings, though he's allowed more than two goals just twice in that span. He's 16-8-6 with a 2.63 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 30 games played, and he's likely to surpass his career highs of 37 appearances and 17 wins. It's likely Thatcher Demko will get a chance to start Thursday versus the Kings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.
Lankinen played 32 games for Chicago a season ago, with most of them coming down the stretch following Marc-Andre Fleury's trade to Minnesota. The numbers were horrific (8-15-6 record, 3.50 GAA, .891 save percentage), which was not all that surprising considering how terrible the Blackhawks played as a team defensively. Lankinen should find himself in a considerably better situation this time around on the heels of his new one-year deal with Nashville. The 27-year-old will serve as the backup to Juuse Saros, which is not a gig that is conducive to fantasy production due to a lack of playing time.
Lankinen had never seen NHL action prior to last season, but that didn't stop the Blackhawks from running him out there for 37 of their 56 games in 2020-21. Lankinen's numbers - 17-4-5 record, 3.01 GAA, .909 save percentage - appear a tad underwhelming on the surface but are actually quite good considering the rate at which Chicago hemorrhaged scoring chances a year ago. Lankinen's extended audition wasn't enough to keep Blackhawks management from going out and acquiring reigning Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury from the Golden Knights following the year. Fleury is going to get the lion's share of the playing time for Chicago even at his advanced age, giving Lankinen little-to-no fantasy value unless an injury strikes.
