With the Vancouver Canucks falling to 2-3-3 on home ice this season, head coach Rick Tocchet issued an apology to their spectators after a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday.
Lankinen stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders. The fifth goal was an empty-netter. The Canucks were listless through two periods before finding a bit more juice in the third.
