4 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will make his eighth start of the season on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. It's his second start of the week against the Hurricanes, who beat Lankinen and Chicago 4-3 in a shootout on Tuesday. The result stretched Carolina's winning streak to five games, so Lankinen has to put in a top-notch performance to bag a victory on Thursday. He has a 3-1-3 record for the season with a 2.09 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. Lankinen has quickly turned things around after giving up five goals on 30 shots against Florida in his NHL debut on Jan. 19.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
