Predators' Kevin Lankinen: Solid in narrow loss

Lankinen allowed a goal on 29 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Islanders. The second goal was an empty-netter.

Lankinen put in a good effort, but he didn't get the necessary goal support to win a tight game. He's gone winless over his last three outings despite allowing only seven goals on 81 shots over that span. The 28-year-old is at 10-6-0 on the season with a 2.93 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 22 appearances. Juuse Saros is likely to start Sunday's road game versus the Devils.
