The Vancouver Canucks have found a valuable asset in goalie Kevin Lankinen, especially with their starter Thatcher Demko sidelined due to injury. Lankinen's performance raises questions about why he hasn't secured a starting role in the NHL, despite his solid backup history in Nashville.

Sports analysts suggest that Lankinen's current success could lead to a starting position elsewhere if he continues to perform well. His record with the Canucks stands at 10-3-2, showcasing his potential to secure a lucrative contract similar to Anthony Stolarz's next offseason.
