Finnish NHL goalie Kevin Lankinen, who was part of the Lion's Olympic team but did not play in any games, is experiencing travel setbacks. His return from Milan has been delayed due to severe snowstorms affecting the East Coast of the USA, according to his coach Adam Foote. This travel issue comes as the Vancouver Canucks prepare for their next game without Lankinen, who has been struggling in the NHL this season.

Lankinen's season with the Vancouver Canucks has been challenging, as he has only managed to achieve mediocre statistics in 32 games played. His save percentage is a disappointing 87.6%, and he has conceded an average of 3.67 goals per game, which is significantly higher than expected based on his statistical forecast. This season’s performance has placed additional pressure on the Canucks, complicating their goalie situation further.

The Vancouver Canucks are already facing difficulties with their goaltending roster, as Lankinen's struggles contribute to an overall lack of stability in that position. The team has had to navigate through various challenges, making Lankinen's absence due to his current travel misfortunes an added complication. As the Canucks look towards their future games, the situation highlights the broader issues within the team and the individual challenges players are contending with this season.
