Nikita Tolopilo News

With Kevin Lankinen (upper body) sidelined, the Canucks' crease likely belongs to Tolopilo until he returns.

The 26-year-old goalie has lost five straight games (0-5-0). The Canucks enter Thursday's contest as sizeable +235 road underdogs against a Los Angeles Kings team that desperately needs a win to stay in contention of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Kevin Lankinen has experienced some unexpected travel difficulties on his route back from the Olympics, leaving the net to Tolopilo in Vancouver's return to action on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. With Thatcher Demko (hip surgery) out for the remainder of the season, Tolopilo has a chance to earn some extra playing time. The 25-year-old Tolopilo was excellent heading into the Olympic break, posting a 1.35 GAA and .960 SV% in his last three games (1-1-1). Vancouver enters Wednesday's contest as +115 home underdogs against a Winnipeg team that defeated them 5-3 in their previous meeting.

With Thatcher Demko (lower body) out for the remainder of the season, Kevin Lankinen is expected to see most of the action in Vancouver's crease.

The 25-year-old Tolopilo has spent most of the season in the AHL, where he has a 2.94 GAA and .901 SV% in 13 games (5-5-3) with the Abbotsford Canucks. Vancouver enters the action on Thursday as +123 home underdogs against an Anaheim team whose seven-game win streak was snapped in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
