Lankinen will patrol the road crease versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.
Scouting Report
The late-blooming Finnish goaltender was never drafted and battled his way through the ECHL and American Hockey League before getting a chance in the big league in his mid-20s. He has the size NHL teams like and has adapted well to the smaller rinks in North America, but still needs to show the consistency required of an NHL starter.
Long Range Potential: Backup goaltender with a little upside.
