Kevin Lankinen Makes First Start Of The Season Tuesday
1 year agoNashville Predators goaltender Kevin Lankinen will record his first start of the season Tuesday against Vancouver. It will be his second appearance overall following a 40-minute relief effort on Oct. 18 against the Oilers. Lankinen gets the nod despite Juuse Saros' recent impressive run, which includes three wins in four games. Things went pretty well for Lankinen a season ago when he put together a 9-8-1 record with a 2.75 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. He carries a 34-37-12 career record. Lankinen comes in at a tough spot, as the Canucks have played some very stuff early in the year and sit among the best offensive teams in the league with a 3.88 goals-for average.
