“Vancouver has won three straight, outscoring opponents 12-5 after beginning the season with three straight losses. The key to the turnaround has been backup goalie Kevin Lankinen, who is 3-0-1 with a 1.70 GAA and .941 save percentage in four games. With starter Thatcher Demko still out and Arturs Silovs having struggled in his two starts, Lankinen has been the very early season MVP for the Canucks,” David Satriano writes.
The Canucks take on a struggling Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. They will look to extend their winning streak to four.
