Kevin Lankinen has a 4-0-2 record and has taken over the starter position for the Vancouver Canucks this season.

After a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign, Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen is projected to make Team Finland at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. Lankinen was one of three goaltenders selected by NHL.com to make the team, joining former teammate Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen of the Buffalo Sabres. Saros is the projected starter for the tournament, with Lankinen and Luukkonen expected to battle for the backup role. 

Lankinen has been one of Vancouver's best players early in 2024-25. He has a 4-0-2 record through his first six games, while his .920 save percentage is the best among Finnish goaltenders this season. Lankinen also has a shutout, while his 2.29 goals-against average ranks seventh in the NHL among goaltenders who have played at least five games.
