Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Lankinen Stands Out and Shuts Out

Elliotte Friedman joins Matt Marchese and Mike Futa to begin The FAN Hockey Show by discussing the Vancouver Canucks' victory over the Boston Bruins, Kevin Lankinen's shutout and recent stellar play. Next, they talk about how tonight's game against the Florida Panthers is another measuring stick game, where Matthews will fit in when he returns, and a timeline for Patrik Laine’s return. Later, the three discuss the technique of body checking and how it is gradually vanishing in the game and from some teams. Finally, the guys wrap up with the news of Auston Matthews not being ready to return for tonight’s game.
