Stumbles against Habs Dostal made 33 saves in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact After a scoreless first period, the floodgates opened for Montreal early in the second on a Jake Evans tally. Dostal has given up at least four goals in three of his last five outings, going 1-4-0 over that stretch with a 4.19 GAA and .886 save percentage, but with John Gibson nursing a minor lower-body injury, the younger netminder could get another start Thursday in Ottawa.

The 23-year-old netminder is now 8-12-1 with a 3.54 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 23 appearances. Depending on Gibson's health, Dostal could see a run of starts in the near future.

Steps up versus Wild Dostal stopped 35 of 37 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Dostal allowed both goals in the first period, but his steady play over the final 40 minutes allowed the Ducks to make a comeback. The 23-year-old netminder has just three wins over his last 13 outings, but he's often put in strong performances despite the lack of positive results. For the season, Dostal is 8-11-1 with a 3.50 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 22 outings. He'll likely continue to serve in a backup role to John Gibson.

Starting in Minnesota Dostal was first off the ice Saturday morning, indicating he'll guard the home net against the Wild, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Dostal has started just once in Anaheim's last six games, where he allowed four goals in a loss to the Rangers. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 7-11-1 with a .900 save percentage and 3.58 GAA this season. Dostal will face a hot Wild team that's scored 18 goals in their last four games.

Gives up four goals in loss Dostal allowed four goals on 32 shots in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact This was the first game for Dostal after sitting the past three and he was by far the busier of the two netminders. He turned away the first 18 shots on net until eventually getting beat by Vincent Trocheck in the second period on a power-play goal in the slot. This started a run by the Rangers as they ended up scoring five unanswered goals - including an empty-netter by Jimmy Vesey with 36 seconds left. Dostal has only one win in his past eight games, allowing 23 goals during that span.

Facing Rangers Dostal will get the starting nod at home against the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Dostal will make his first appearance since Jan. 13. He's gone 1-4-1 over his last seven appearances despite posting an impressive .921 save percentage during that stretch. The 23-year-old is 7-10-1 with a 3.55 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 20 games this season.

Pelted with pucks again Dostal made 36 saves in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact It wasn't Dostal's night. The Lightning scored three power-play goals in the second period, two of which came off the stick of Steven Stamkos. With those PPG, Stammer moved into a tie with Wayne Gretzky for 17th all-time on the power-play goal list. Dostal's name will also be synonymous with Nikita Kucherov's 800th point, which came in just 687 NHL games. Dostal is 1-4-1 in his last six starts. He has faced at least 41 shots in four of those games. The Ducks are a tough team to play behind, and it won't get any easier through the second half.

Starting Saturday Dostal will be between the road pipes versus Tampa Bay on Saturday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Dostal came on in relief for John Gibson on Thursday, after Gibson suffered an upper-body injury in a 6-3 loss to Carolina. Dostal is 7-9-1 with a 3.46 GAA and a .903 save percentage this season. He will face the Lightning, who are 14th in the NHL, averaging 3.26 goals per game.

Steps in for third period Thursday Dostal turned aside eight of nine shots after replacing John Gibson (upper body) for the third period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact It was a rough night for goalies, as Pyotr Kochetkov (upper body) also got knocked out of the contest for Carolina. The severity of Gibson's injury isn't yet clear, but Dostal could be looking at a run as the Ducks' No. 1 netminder. The 23-year-old has been playing well of late -- he hasn't allowed more than three goals in a start since Dec. 15, posting a 2.55 GAA and .930 save percentage over his last eight appearances.

It's the first victory since Dec. 18 for the 23-year-old netminder despite posting a .933 save percentage in his previous four outings. Overall, Dostal is 7-9-1 with a .903 save percentage and 3.47 GAA while splitting goaltending duties with John Gibson this season.

In goal versus Predators Dostal will guard the goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Dostal will start a second straight game, but John Gibson (illness) has recovered enough to serve as backup. Dostal has lost four straight outings, but he's given up no more than three goals in any of his last five games. The 23-year-old will face a Nashville team with 18 goals scored over the last six games.

Gives up three goals in loss Dostal stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Dostal got the nod because John Gibson (illness) was not available for the game. It was a close one, but a Michael Rasmussen deflection off a skate counted as the game-winner late in the third period, sending Dostal to his fourth straight loss (0-3-1). He hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last six outings, providing solid goaltending, but the Ducks have often struggled to give him sufficient support. The 23-year-old is down to 6-9-1 with a 3.50 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 17 outings this season. The Ducks embark on a six-game road trip next, beginning in Nashville on Tuesday.

Draws start Sunday Dostal will be stationed between the pipes for Sunday's home matchup against the Red Wings.

Impact Dostal took a tough-luck loss in his last outing after stopping 55 of 57 shots against Toronto. That impressive showing bumped his season save percentage from .893 up to .901 through 16 appearances. The 23-year-old is 0-2-1 over his last three outings despite stopping a combined 115 of 122 shots during that stretch.

Sets franchise record Dostal stopped 55 of 57 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The 55 saves were a franchise record and a career high for Dostal. Despite the heroic goaltending effort, he ended up with a third straight defeat, as penalties came back to bite the Ducks in the third period. John Tavares cashed in the equalizer on a power play, and Auston Matthews won the game in overtime. Dostal is down to 6-8-1 with a 3.53 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 16 appearances. He's gone five outings (four starts) without allowing more than three goals, but playing behind the Ducks' young defense continues to be tough sledding for the 23-year-old.

In goal Wednesday Dostal will get the starting nod at home versus Toronto on Wednesday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Dostal has managed just one victory in his last nine outings, posting a 1-7-0 record and 4.29 GAA. Still, John Gibson hasn't performed significantly better, especially in his last outing when he gave up seven goals on 39 shots. As such, Dostal could see additional opportunities down the stretch.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Kraken Dostal stopped 19 of 22 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dostal made his third straight start, but he took his second loss in a row. The Kraken didn't put up a lot of shots, but they put two pucks past him in the first period and added another goal in the third. Dostal is down to 6-8-0 with a 3.65 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Dostal and John Gibson alternate starts after the holiday break, as neither of them has played with any consistency when given the chance to be the primary starter.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Saturday Dostal will protect the home goal versus the Kraken on Saturday.

Impact Dostal has played in each of the last four games, allowing 10 goals on 124 shots in that span. It appears he's being rewarded for his strong play even with John Gibson back from attending the birth of his child. The Kraken have scored 18 goals over their last six games.

Kept busy in loss Dostal stopped 41 of 43 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Dostal received no help from his offense or defense in this one -- the 43 shots he faced represented a season high. The 23-year-old netminder has won just one of his last six outings. He's at a 6-7-0 record with a 3.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Dostal will likely settle back into a backup role soon -- expect John Gibson between the pipes Saturday versus the Kraken.
