Lankinen Sunk by Oilers
Kevin Lankinen stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday’s 4-1 loss to Edmonton. The Predators didn’t even get onto the board until the third period, giving Lankinen little help in general, and two of the three pucks that beat him came on Oiler power plays. It was the 28-year-old netminder’s first loss since Dec. 9, but it was only his fourth start since then. On the season Lankinen sports a 6-4-0 record with a 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage as Juuse Saros’ backup.
Korpisalo Pulled in Second Period
Joonas Korpisalo allowed four goals on 17 shots Saturday before he was replaced at 8:44 of the second period. The Senators lost 7-2 to the Rangers. It was a bad night for the Sens and Korpisalo, who had put up a decent 3-0-2 run in five starts prior to this effort. It’s been a forgettable season for Korpisalo, who is 10-15-2 with a 3.44 GAA and .888 save percentage. He will be hard-pressed to improve his numbers this season, given Ottawa’s struggles in 2023-24.
