Lankinen stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over Florida on Thursday.
Lankinen could hardly be faulted for the goals he allowed. Adam Boqvist one-timed a rebound at the side of the net in the middle of the first, and Anton Lundell put in a power-play snipe with 1:00 remaining in the second period. Lankinen has had two solid starts, and he could end up eating time from Arturs Silovs. Thatcher Demko (knee) may be back in a few weeks, but the Canucks have been tight-lipped on his recovery, and a return date is uncertain.
