2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Kevin Lankinen in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Canucks in September of 2024.
Bested by former team

November 17, 2024
Lankinen stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
ANALYSIS
Lankinen's former team got the better of him Sunday, though three of the four goals he let in were to players that weren't in Nashville last season. The 29-year-old has allowed at least four goals in three of his last four starts. He's down to an 8-3-2 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 13 games. Those are fine numbers, but Lankinen is trending in the wrong direction and may cede the crease to Arturs Silovs more regularly until a hot hand emerges between the two of them.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Moving from rebuilding Chicago to Nashville meant Lankinen had significantly less playing time in 2022-23. Working as a backup to Juuse Saros, Lankinen had a 9-8-1 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .916 save percentage. Those numbers are more in line with his rookie year, so it's safe to say Lankinen is a fairly solid backup, though he'll feel a bit of a hot seat as the only thing standing between top prospect Yaroslav Askarov and an NHL job. Lankinen will want to perform well in his walk year, and if the Predators fall out of contention (or maybe even if they don't), he could be on the move at the trade deadline to shore up a contender's depth in the crease.
Lankinen played 32 games for Chicago a season ago, with most of them coming down the stretch following Marc-Andre Fleury's trade to Minnesota. The numbers were horrific (8-15-6 record, 3.50 GAA, .891 save percentage), which was not all that surprising considering how terrible the Blackhawks played as a team defensively. Lankinen should find himself in a considerably better situation this time around on the heels of his new one-year deal with Nashville. The 27-year-old will serve as the backup to Juuse Saros, which is not a gig that is conducive to fantasy production due to a lack of playing time.
Lankinen had never seen NHL action prior to last season, but that didn't stop the Blackhawks from running him out there for 37 of their 56 games in 2020-21. Lankinen's numbers - 17-4-5 record, 3.01 GAA, .909 save percentage - appear a tad underwhelming on the surface but are actually quite good considering the rate at which Chicago hemorrhaged scoring chances a year ago. Lankinen's extended audition wasn't enough to keep Blackhawks management from going out and acquiring reigning Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury from the Golden Knights following the year. Fleury is going to get the lion's share of the playing time for Chicago even at his advanced age, giving Lankinen little-to-no fantasy value unless an injury strikes.
