The Ducks will turn to Dostal for the second straight game on Friday night when they visit the Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Czech netminder has been outstanding to start the 2024-25 campaign, responsible for both Ducks wins, posting a tremendous 1.99 GAA and .933 SV%. That said, the Ducks enter action on Friday are sizeable +233 road underdogs against an Avalanche club that is desperate to snap their four-game losing skid to start the season.

Dostal was excellent in the Ducks' season opener and will return to the crease for the second time this season on Wednesday night against the Utah Hockey Club. The 24-year-old Dostal had stretches of excellent play last season, ending his campaign with a modest 3.33 GAA and .902 SV% in 44 contests (14-23-3). The Czech netminder recorded a 30-save shutout in his only appearance this season but his Ducks rank as +134 home underdogs against a Utah HC team that that has scored five or more goals in three of their four games (3-1-0).

Dostal will make back-to-back starts to close out the 2023-24 season as the Ducks are opting to give him the nod over John Gibson in Thursday's regular season finale. Dostal took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings. He comes into tonight's game with a .900 SV% and a 13-23-3 record across 43 appearances. Unsurprisingly, he is a longshot to get back in the win column on Thursday with the Ducks being +310 underdogs in Vegas.

The Ducks, losers of seven of their last eight (1-5-2), will turn to Dostal in the crease for the fifth straight game. Dostal has allowed three or fewer goals in three of his last four (1-2-1) but allowed five on 31 shots (.839 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Ducks enter action as +248 home underdogs on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.

The Ducks will turn to Dostal between the pipes for his third straight game. Dostal has allowed three or more goals in four straight (1-2-1), but was victorious in his last outing, saving 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames. The Ducks enter action as +152 home underdogs against a Seattle Kraken club that shut them out 4-0 on March 26th.

The Ducks have favoured Dostal between the pipes lately and will turn to him for the third time in the last four games as they attempt to snap their five-game losing skid. Considering the Ducks' recent offensive woes, Dostal has performed reasonably for the Ducks lately, posting a .907 SV% in his last six outings (1-4-1). That said, the Ducks enter action on Tuesday as sizeable +205 road underdogs against the Calgary Flames.

Dostal will be back between the pipes for the Ducks on Thursday after John Gibson got the nod in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Kraken. Dostal's last appearance came against the Lightning on Sunday. He allowed three goals on 27 shots in the overtime loss. The 23-year-old netminder has posted a respectable .901 SV% across 36 appearances for a struggling Ducks team this season. He draws yet another tough matchup on Thursday as Anaheim finds themselves as +195 underdogs in Seattle.

The Ducks have been outscored 16-2, being shut out three times, during a four-game losing streak and rely on Dostal to tend the twine on Thursday. Dostal has lost three straight games, including his most recent, a 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues when he allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%). In a rare occurrence, the Ducks are -117 home favourites entering action against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Ducks will turn to Dostal between the pipes for the fifth time in the last seven games on Thursday. Dostal entered Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in relief of John Gibson and allowed one goal on five shots (.800 SV%). In the game before that, Dostal allowed six goals on 19 shots (.684 SV%) in a 6-1 loss to the New York Islanders. The Ducks, losers of three straight, enter action as sizeable +245 road underdogs against the Minnesota Wild.
