Kevin Lankinen deserved better.
The Vancouver Canucks netminder was stellar in his debut, but the Canucks still remain winless on the season after losing 3-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers in a shootout.
Vancouver was playing shorthanded early, with Tyler Myers suffering a scary-looking knee injury early in the first period.
He didn’t return, and head coach Rick Tocchet didn’t have much of an update postgame.
“Hopefully we dodged a bullet,” Tocchet told reporters, “but I’m not sure.”
The Canucks now embark on a four-game road trip, beginning on Tuesday, October 15th against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
More to come…
