The Ducks enter the action on Thursday as -142 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

Dostal will start in Seattle on Friday.

Dostal will take over Anaheim's crease for the sixth time in their last seven games and look to extend the teams five-game win streak and his personal four game win streak in Seattle on Friday. 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%. He'll head to Seattle to take on the Kraken on Friday, who broke a four game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Islanders their last time out.

Lukas Dostal
Dostal will start in Colorado on Wednesday.

Dostal was on a dreadful run since returning from an injury in mid-December, posting a 3.34 GAA and .855 SV% in 12 games (2-9-1), but he seems to have turned a corner. The 25-year-old Czech goalie has been solid in three straight games (3-0-0), posting a 1.99 GAA and .920 SV%. That said, the Ducks enter Wednesday's action as significant +263 road underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are 20-1-3 at home this season.

After a miserable nine-game losing streak (0-8-1), the Ducks seem to be turning a corner, receiving terrific goaltending during a three-game winning streak. The 25-year-old Dostal has saved 50 of 53 combined shots (.943 SV%) over his last two games, allowing two or fewer goals in each contest to end a stretch of six straight starts (0-5-1) where he had allowed four or more goals. The Ducks enter the action on Monday as -127 home favorites against a New York Rangers team that snapped a five-game losing streak (0-4-1) in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
