The Vancouver Canucks franchise has had no shortage of goaltending controversies over the years, and now they find themselves there yet again.

TSN: Pierre LeBrun said that there is a mutual interest between the Vancouver Canucks and pending UFA goaltender Kevin Lankinen, who is on a one-year, $875,000 deal.

On Saturday night in Vancouver, the Canucks were somewhat soundly outplayed in the opening 20 minutes but managed to come out of the first period thanks to some misses at the goal mouth from Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Lars Eller and thanks to one of the most absurd individual offensive efforts you’ll see all season from a blueliner.

Alex Auld understands what Kevin Lankinen is trying to navigate. The 44-year-old Auld was a netminder for 10 seasons in the NHL, including four years with the Vancouver Canucks. He was a starter — he took the Cyclone Taylor Trophy as the Canucks’ most valuable player in 2005-06 — and he was a backup,

The Athletic spoke to three NHL team executives —two current and one former — to get their thoughts on the hot-button topics in Vancouver.

Lankinen stopped 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues. Vancouver built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, and Lankinen made sure St. Louis never got within striking distance of tying it up.

Lankinen was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is slated to defend the home crease versus Washington on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

The NHL and NHLPA made a massive announcement on Friday regarding the salary cap. After years of stagnant or minimal growth, the NHL's salary cap will rise by $7.5 million next season, with the ceiling increasing from $88 million to $95.

Hands up. Who had Thatcher Demko getting the goaltending call Wednesday in Music City? After all, with a pair of solid-showing victories by Kevin Lankinen, the Vancouver Canucks were expected to give the unflappable Finn the start against the Nashville Predators and a run of all three games on this road trip.

The Vancouver Canucks roll into Dallas on a three-game winning streak and are looking to keep their momentum going as they face the Stars for the first time this season. Defence has been the name of the game for the Canucks over their last trinity of games.
