Kevin Lankinen Starts For Chicago On Friday
3 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will guard the cage on Friday against St. Louis. The 26-year-old makes his seventh start of the season and will be looking for his second win. Lankinen recently kickstarted a four-game winning streak for the team with a 20-save effort against Nashville, but Marc-Andre Fleury has mostly carried Chicago this month. It was a nice debut season for Lankinen in 2020-21, but he's failed to build on it, going 1-3-2 so far with a 3.39 goals-against average and a .884 save percentage. The Blackhawks have improved lately, but this is still a rough spot for them, especially with St. Louis winning five in a row in the matchup.
