The Canucks' form continues to swing wildly from game to game and the Jets took advantage with a Kyle Connor hat trick in the first period.

Lankinen will be between the road pipes in Tuesday's road matchup versus the Jets, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press. Lankinen earned his fourth shutout of the campaign Saturday in a 3-0 victory over Toronto.

And after being special for most of the season, Kevin Lankinen was less than ordinary. And so were most of his teammates and especially Vancouver’s top players.

Lankinen gave up six goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.

When you’ve got a great game, you’re going to earn a good nickname. Kevin Lankinen doesn’t have a big book of NHL goaltending work to suggest he warrants a memorable moniker — certainly nothing like award-winning Dominik ‘The Dominator’ Hasek or Henrik ‘The King’ Lundqvist — but the quiet and confident Vancouver Canucks stopper does deserve a suitable label.

The Winnipeg Jets continued their season long homestand on Tuesday night at the Canada Life Centre and absolutely crushed the Vancouver Canucks by a score of 6-1. Connor Hellebuyck picked up his league leading 27th win of the year on a cold winter night in Winnipeg.

The Canucks started this game with a couple big giveaways early on. The first came from JT Miller, and the second (and far more egregious one) came from Kevin Lankinen.

After their most complete game of 2025, the Vancouver Canucks fell 6–1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Winnipeg’s goal scorers were Kyle Connor (3), Neal Pionk, Nino Niederreiter, and Mark Scheifele.

Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in the first period and went on to add an assist as the Winnipeg Jets crushed the visiting Vancouver Canucks 6-1 on Tuesday.

A weekly gauge of the players who are controlling substantial buzz around the league. When a player is included on this list it may not be a good thing -- it means that they are capturing a large amount of the hockey world's attention.

Kirby Dach scored twice and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 on Tuesday night. Mike Matheson, Patrik Laine and Cole Caufield also scored for Montreal, which has won eight of its last 10.
