Kevin Lankinen Replaces Malcolm Subban As Saturday's Starter
4 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will get the nod for Saturday's clash with the Panthers, despite Malcolm Subban filling the starter's crease at the morning skate. Subban was expected to lead the team out, but it looks like head coach Jeremy Colliton had a late change of heart. Lankinen has had a rough ride during the second half of the season and is winless in four games ahead of Saturday's action. His record has dropped to 16-13-5, and the Finnish netminder has posted a 2.97 goals-against average during his rookie campaign with a .909 save percentage and two shutouts. Chicago's season has slowly fallen apart, and they are facing a top-class side here, so Lankinen could easily get lit up again.
