Kevin Lankinen Gets Start in Goal for Vancouver Canucks Preseason Opener

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen started Tuesday's preseason game against the Calgary Flames. The 31-year-old netminder could be in line for No. 1 goaltending duties early in the regular season while teammate Thatcher Demko continues his recovery from hip surgery. Lankinen provides veteran presence for the squad, though he carries limited fantasy appeal as the backstop for the rebuilding club.
