Lankinen stopped 37 of 40 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Vegas. Lankinen was excellent in the win, allowing only three goals on 40 shots and blanking the Golden Knights in the shootout. The 26-year-old netminder has won consecutive starts. Lankinen's record improves to 8-15-6 with a .891 save percentage. He'll likely be back in net Friday when the Blackhawks visit the Sabres in their season finale.

Lankinen will defend the blue paint during Wednesday's home game versus the Golden Knights, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Lankinen was excellent in his last start Monday against the Flyers, stopping 33 of 34 shots en route to a 3-1 victory. He'll try to secure a second straight victory in a home matchup with a desperate Vegas team that will need to win in order to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention.

Lankinen allowed one goal on 34 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

He's won three of his last six starts, improving to 7-15-6 for the season. The 26-year-old owns a 3.53 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 31 contests. The Blackhawks' next game is their home finale Wednesday versus the Golden Knights.

Lankinen will get the starting nod versus Philadelphia at home Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Lankinen will be making his seventh straight appearance between the pipes having gone 2-3-0 with a 3.44 GAA in his last six outings. The 26-year-old Finn could get the nod for all three of the Hawks' remaining contests, though Collin Delia may also get a look.

Lankinen made 15 saves in a 4-1 loss Saturday to San Jose. The Hawks were not good in front of him -- they struggled to find structure and tried to outwork their opponents 1-on-1, rather than working as a team. Lankinen was the victim of those breakdowns. He's trying to make a strong impression for next season, but that's almost an impossibility with his team playing so poorly in front of him. Since the Marc Andre Fleury trade, Lankinen is 3-7-2 in 12 starts and he's allowed four or more goals in seven of those starts.
