Eddie Lack stopped 31 of 31 shots in Vancouver's 1-0 loss to Phoenix Tuesday evening.
Lack became Vancouver's No. 1 goalie after the Canucks traded Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers earlier in the day. Lack has been solid lately, but he has lost four of his last five games, because the Canucks can't simply score. He now has 9-10-2 record with a 2.05 GAA and .926 save percentage. His former team-mate from Sweden, Jacob Markstrom, was traded to Vancouver so it seems like Lack will be playing a lot for the rest of this season.

Eddie Lack might find himself embroiled in a little bit of Vancouver Canucks controversy as he lost in a Heritage Classic game after surprisingly starting over Roberto Luongo.
It's not really Lack's fault, but some will use this situation as a lightning rod for the latest round of drama surrounding the team. He's generally been a strong backup who's worth monitoring at minimum this season.

Eddie Lack will be in goal for Vancouver on Sunday in the Heritage Classic against Ottawa.
This will be his third straight start coming out of the Winter Olympics. He posted a 20-save shutout against St. Louis on Wednesday and he dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to Minnesota on Friday. It's very strange that Roberto Luongo isn't getting the nod against Ottawa and it's sure to stir plenty of controversy for Vancouver's crease again.

Eddie Lack will start against the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
Lack turned aside all 20 shots he faced versus St. Louis Wednesday night. The decision to start him is likely a combination of rewarding him after a shutout and allowing Roberto Luongo to recover from the timezone difference after spending the Olympics in Sochi.

Eddie Lack will play between the pipes on Wednesday.
Presumably the idea is to give Roberto Luongo some extra time to adjust from his time in Sochi. Lack has a 2.22 GAA and .922 save percentage in 22 games this season.
