Lankinen will start vs. Tampa Bay on Thursday.

The league-worst Vancouver Canucks are coming off an impressive 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers, courtesy of a 21-save performance (.913 SV%) from Lankinen, who will return to the crease on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 30-year-old Finnish goalie has allowed three or fewer goals in his last three outings (1-1-1), posting a 2.01 GAA and .927 SV%. That said, the Canucks enter Thursday's contest as significant +246 home underdogs against a Lightning team coming off a 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken.
