Lankinen Starts, Myers Benched Again vs. Kraken

Kevin Lankinen grabs the first skate and locks in as the Canucks' starter tonight in Seattle, fresh off Olympic rest with Finland while the rest of the league chased gold. Tyler Myers sits for the second straight game amid those swirling trade whispers that have front offices buzzing ahead of Friday's deadline. Coach Adam Foote's lineup stays steady otherwise, but with Seattle's shootout history against Vancouver this season, every decision carries weight in this Pacific scrap.
