After two seasons in the AHL, Lockett joined the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL) where he played backup to Gary Smith. In his first year with the Canucks, he recorded 2 consecutive shutouts as part of a franchise record setting 184:20 minute shutout streak in April 1975. The mark stood as a Canucks record for 32 years until 2007 when Roberto Luongo went 210:34 minutes.
