von Rantala Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has agreed to terms with goaltender Kevin Lankinen on a 5-year contract extension with a $4.5M AAV. “Kevin has done a great job for us in net this season,” said Allvin. “Right from the start of the year, he has shown a strong desire to compete and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win hockey games. A good leader and teammate, we wouldn’t be in the position we are in right now without his strong play.” Lankinen, 29, has appeared in 34 games with Vancouver this year, holding a record of 19-8-7 with a 2.53 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage, and four shutouts. His 19 wins and four shutouts set career highs. In his Canucks debut, Lankinen also became the first goalie in NHL history to start a season 10-0-0 on the road. The 6’2”, 190 lbs goaltender has appeared in 146 career NHL games over parts of five seasons split between the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, and Vancouver Canucks, posting a record of 64-51-19, a 2.94 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage, along with seven shutouts.
