Kevin Lankinen Gets The Nod For Chicago On Friday
4 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will get the start in net as his team hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. The rookie netminder is coming off a sparkling performance against the Nashville Predators on Wednesday in which he stopped 41 of 42 shots against in a 2-1 shootout loss. Lankinen is getting his fifth start over the past six games for the Hawks and considering his superb numbers thus far (2.18 goals-against average, .931 save percentage), the 25-year-old looks to be taking over as the team's starter. Available in 76% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues, Lankinen could be a nice target for fantasy owners in desperate need of goaltending help early in the season.
