Lukas Dostal - NHL News & Rumors

Earns win over Jets Dostal stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact The Ducks were behind 2-1 after Mark Scheifele's goal early in the third period, but Frank Vatrano and Troy Terry scored in the final five minutes. Dostal came away with his second win over four starts in December, and he's allowed just 10 goals on 108 shots this month. Overall, he improved to 7-8-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 18 appearances. Dostal and John Gibson have been alternating starts over the last six games -- if that trend continues, Gibson would play at home Friday versus the Avalanche, while Dostal would be lined up for a road start Sunday in Utah to begin a back-to-back.

Draws start against Winnipeg Dostal will serve as the starting goaltender for Wednesday's home game against Winnipeg, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal has alternated starts with John Gibson in recent games, and that trend will continue for Wednesday's home game. Dostal has made three starts this month, posting a 1-1-1 record, 2.54 GAA and .906 save percentage during that time. Although the Jets have cooled off slightly following their hot start to the season, they're still averaging 3.67 goals per game, which ranks third in the league.

Needs more help from teammates Dostal made 30 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Impact Max Pacioretty had his number Thursday, beating Dostal twice. The young netminder played a strong game, but the Ducks' defense left him alone on an island far too many times. Despite a 6-8-3 record, Dostal has a sparkling .920 save percentage and solid 2.69 GAA, and that makes him a solid match-up play in daily formats.

Slated to start Thursday Dostal is expected to start Thursday's road game in Toronto, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact John Gibson is starting Wednesday in Ottawa, while Dostal will take the second half of the back-to-back. Dostal's playing time has dropped lately -- he's played four of 10 games from Nov. 18 to Dec. 9, going 2-1-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .914 save percentage in that span. Gibson's been in a bit of a rut, so Dostal may have a chance to get more playing time soon.

Suffers shootout loss Monday Dostal stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Dostal gave up goals in the first and second periods, and while he looked solid the rest of the way, he was beaten twice in the shootout as well. Dostal has been inconsistent of late, losing three of his last five starts, but a deeper look at the numbers suggests he's been better than what the numbers indicate. The 24-year-old has posted a 2-2-1 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .916 save percentage in that span.

Tending twine Monday Dostal will be between the pipes for Monday's road matchup with the Canadiens.

Impact Dostal will make his 16th appearance of the season Monday -- the 24-year-old is sporting a 6-7-2 record, .921 save percentage and 2.73 GAA. Dostal has won two of his last three appearances after going 0-4-1 in his previous five starts. Montreal sits 23rd in the NHL with 2.78 goals per game through 27 contests.

Secures shootout win Dostal stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.

Impact The Ducks briefly held one-goal leads on three occasions, but the Senators were quick to respond each time. Dostal held firm and stopped all three shootout attempts to earn just his second win in seven outings since the start of November. The 24-year-old goalie has given up at least three goals in six of those games. He is now 6-7-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .921 save percentage over five contests. He's been losing work to John Gibson lately, so it's not clear which goalie will get the starting nod at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

In blue paint versus Ottawa Dostal will be between the pipes in Sunday's home matchup with the Senators, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal will look turn the page in December after posting a 1-5-0 record, .890 save percentage and 3.71 GAA over six appearances in November. The 24-year-old will face an Ottawa club that's on the second half of a back-to-back -- the Sens lost 5-2 in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Senators have generated 72 goals through 23 games.

Costly lapse in third period Dostal stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dostal was playing a strong game until early in the third period. He allowed goals to Andre Burakovsky and Brandon Montour that came just 24 seconds apart, and that lapse led to the Kraken's victory. This was Dostal's fifth regulation loss in his last six outings, and he's allowed at least three goals in all five defeats in that span. The 24-year-old is now at a 5-7-2 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 14 starts. He's already been ceding playing time to John Gibson, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Gibson start Wednesday's rematch in Seattle.

Draws start against Seattle Dostal will patrol the home crease during Monday's game against Seattle, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal's playing time has decreased recently, as he's started in just one of the Ducks' last four games. However, he broke a losing streak in his start against Dallas on Nov. 18, turning aside 34 of 36 shots (.944 save percentage). After sitting out the last two games, Dostal will return to the net against the Kraken, who have averaged 2.76 goals per game to begin the season.

Snaps losing streak Monday Dostal stopped 34 of 36 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Dostal earned his first win since Oct. 29, when he stopped 40 of 41 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Islanders. Between both wins, the 24-year-old Czech netminder had gone 0-4-1 with a 3.79 GAA and a disappointing .895 save percentage. The Ducks are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday against the Blackhawks, so Dostal is likely to be rested in favor of John Gibson.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine in Dallas Dostal will be between the pipes for Monday's road matchup versus the Stars.

Impact Dostal will make his 13th start of the season Monday -- he has a 4-6-2 record, .922 save percentage and 2.75 GAA through 12 outings. The 24-year-old is 0-4-1 over his last five starts, and he'll face a Dallas club that's scored 3.38 goals per game through 16 contests.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three goals in loss Dostal stopped 36 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Dostal allowed a goal in each period, and the Ducks weren't quite able to keep pace. This was his fifth straight loss, the last four of which have been in regulation. The 24-year-old netminder is now at a 4-6-2 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .922 save percentage through 12 starts. Dostal's skid puts him at risk of dropping into a timeshare with John Gibson for playing time in goal. The Ducks' next game is at home Friday versus the Red Wings.
