A supreme defensive effort got the Canucks' East Coast road trip off to a 2-0-0 start with a shutout in Boston.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen has been doing a good job of holding down the fort since the start of the season with Thatcher Demko sidelined.

Let us understand this: Troy Gamble very nearly was the man for the Canucks. In 1990-91 he supplanted Kirk McLean as the team’s No. 1 goalie. Then he got concussed. And he never recovered. He kept being put back into the crease but he kept getting concussed. We just didn’t understand brain health then like we do now.

Kevin Lankinen has been a revelation for the Vancouver Canucks, delivering game-stealing performances that highlight his importance to the team’s success. His recent 32-save shutout against the Boston Bruins showcased his composure under pressure,

Kevin Lankinen recorded a 33-save shutout and made Jake DeBrusk's second-period goal stand up as the Vancouver Canucks edged past the host Boston Bruins 2-0 on Tuesday.

It’s not about how you do it sometimes. The Vancouver Canucks absolutely stole a result from the Boston Bruins last night, managing to get a 2-0 win off the back of an incredible performance by Kevin Lankinen.

Lankinen rebounded in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday after allowing eight combined goals in back-to-back losses. The Finnish netminder is sporting a 9-3-2 record, .901 save percentage and 2.74 GAA through 14 appearances. The 29-year-old will face a Bruins club that ranks 32nd in the NHL with 2.32 goals per game through 22 contests.

The Vancouver Canucks added another win in the road game column with a 2-0 victory over the Boston Bruins. The Canucks made a solid showing in the defensive end, starting with goaltender Kevin Lankinen,

This one started with a bit of a feeling out process, as both the home side Bruins and visiting Canucks struggled to generate chances early. One player who stood out early was Conor Garland.
