If Finland makes a change, they could go with Kevin Lankinen, who backed up Saros on Thursday. It’s a role Lankinen knows well, having done the same with the Nashville Predators the previous two seasons.

After the Predators chose not to sign Lankinen he got an opportunity with the Vancouver Canucks, who signed him to a one-year, $875,000 contract on Sept. 21. He’s done well in his new surroundings, going 19-8-7 with a 2.53 goals-against average, .905 save percentage and four shutouts in 34 games (32 starts) for the Canucks.

The Finns also have Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. He’s 18-16-4 with a 3.02 GAA, .895 save percentage and two shutouts in 39 starts with the Buffalo Sabres this season.

It was a tough night for Finland, which played a strong game against the U.S. through the first two periods before things went awry. Finland will weigh its goaltending options but regardless of who’s in net, they’ll look to be better on Saturday.

“I think we either win or we learn, and we learned a lot from the game we played today,” Finland captain Aleksander Barkov said. “We learned from the good things we did and, obviously, not great things. So, we’ll watch some video tomorrow and the next day and prepare for a game.”
