Dostal will start in Toronto on Thursday.

The Ducks will hand Dostal his 44th start of the season when they travel to Toronto on Thursday. Dostal was sharp in what admittedly amounted to very little work in his last start, stopping 12 of the 13 shots he faced in a 4-1 win in Winnipeg on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder brings a 26-14-2 record and an .893 SV% into Thursday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action at -105 on the money line.

The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +123 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team with points in six straight games (4-0-2).

The 25-year-old has been one of the hottest goalies in hockey over his last six starts, posting a 4-2-0 record and an impressive .919 SV%.
