Kevin Lankinen Posts First Career Shutout
4 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen recorded his first career NHL shutout in blanking the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old faced 29 total shots in the contest, and in stopping all of them, he improved to a 2.29 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage in 12 starts on the campaign. Lankinen has approached must-own territory in fantasy leagues at this point and should be trusted as a legitimate starting option each night he gets the nod in the crease. He'll likely be back in net when the Hawks travel to face the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.
