Lack made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto. The only goal he allowed came on a Phil Kessel penalty shot.
He has three wins in his last four starts and he has allowed just seven goals on 118 shots (.941). And the Orcas played the Sharks, Ducks and Kings in that span. That's impressive ... and worthy of activation in all situations.

Lack will be in the crease for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province reports.
Lack was rocked for three goals on 19 shots in his last turn Thursday against the Kings, but he should make for an undervalued option in daily leagues for Saturday's slate. The Maple Leafs have been in a tailspin since the beginning of January, and while Lack took a beating his last time out, he'd performed exceptionally prior to that. He had allowed two or fewer goals in each of his preceding four turns, and owns a respectable 2.48 GAA and .918 save percentage over 28 outings this season.

Lack turned aside just 16 of 19 shots Thursday in a 4-0 loss to the Kings.
An ugly one for Lack, who'd put up four consecutive outings with a .943 save mark or better coming in, but was unable to maintain the momentum against the Stanley Cup champs. He still has strong ratios, but Lack's inconsistency has prevented him from fully capitalizing on the opportunity created by Ryan Miller's leg injury.

Lack will be in the crease for Thursday's game against the Kings.
After defeating the Sharks and Ducks in impressive fashion in his last two outings, allowing only three goals on 70 shots (.957 save percentage), Lack will attempt to complete a sweep of the California teams Thursday. Going back even further, Lack has allowed two or fewer goals his last four times out, while submitting save percentages above .940 on each occasion. Though the Kings represent a formidable adversary, Lack's recent success should make it worthwhile to keep him active.

Lack was superb Monday, thwarting 29 of 30 shots in a 2-1 win over the Ducks.
That's exactly the kind of performance the Canucks need from Lack, as they mustered just 16 shots against Anaheim but still came away the victors. Lack has now allowed two goals or less in four straight starts and appears to be gaining some momentum with Ryan Miller (leg) still sidelined.

Lack is slated to start Monday's game against the Ducks, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Lack, who will make his third straight start for the Canucks, has split his last two decisions, while stopping 71-of-75 shots in that span. He'll be facing an Anaheim squad that had a four-game win streak halted by Friday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.

Lack stopped 38 of 40 shots in Saturday's win over the Sharks.
Another strong night for Lack, who made 35 saves on 37 shots Thursday against Arizona. The 27-year-old is now 9-8-3 on the season with a .918 save percentage and 2.52 GAA. With Ryan Miller (leg) out, Lack is being counted on as the go-to-guy in Vancouver, so take full advantage.

Lack will be in the net for Saturday's game against the Sharks, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.
Backup Jacob Markstrom got the start when the Sharks and Canucks met four days earlier, with San Jose scoring three times on their four shot attempts to quickly put the game out of reach. Not only should Lack's return to the net provide an upgrade in that area, but the Canucks will also have three regulars (Zack Kassian, Alex Burrows, and Alex Edler) who were missing from Tuesday's lineup. Expect a much more competitive effort from the Canucks, making Lack a decent option for Saturday's slate.

Lack made 33 saves on 35 shots Thursday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Coyotes.
A strong effort by Lack, but he gave up the shootout's only goal to get stuck with a loss. The absence of Ryan Miller (leg) has not exactly led to an explosion in fantasy value for Lack; he's had his moments, but is just 2-2-1 since Miller suffered his injury. Still, there's short-term upside to be found here.

Lack is slated to start Thursday's game against the Coyotes, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.
The matchup certainly looks good for Lack, with the low-scoring Coyotes in the midst of franchise record-tying, 10-game losing streak.
