Lukas Dostal News

After allowing three or more goals in five of six games (4-2) in the Ducks' opening-round matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, Dostal has saved 40 of 43 shots (.930 SV%) through two games in round two against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Czech goalie was stellar in Game Two, narrowly missing his first career postseason shutout, allowing a goal in the final seconds of a 3-1 win. The Ducks enter a pivotal Game Three as slight -102 home underdogs.

After allowing three or more goals in five of six games (4-2) in the Ducks' opening-round matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, Dostal has saved 40 of 43 shots (.930 SV%) through two games in round two against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Czech goalie was stellar in Game Two, narrowly missing his first career postseason shutout, allowing a goal in the final seconds of a 3-1 win. The Ducks enter a pivotal Game Three as slight -102 home underdogs.

After allowing three or more goals in five of six games (4-2) in the Ducks' opening-round matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, Dostal saved 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in their second-round opener against the Vegas Golden Knights. That said, Dostal did not receive enough goal support, losing 3-1, as the Ducks find themselves in a 1-0 series deficit to the Golden Knights. The Ducks enter a pivotal Game Two as +133 road underdogs.

The Ducks will of course roll with Dostal between the pipes when they open up their second round series against the Golden Knights on Monday. Dostal struggled at times during Anaheim's first-round matchup with the Oilers, but turned in his best performance of the post-season when he allowed just two goals on 27 shots in a series-clinching 5-2 victory in Game 6. Dostal and the Ducks open up round two as slight underdogs, entering action for Game 1 at +135 on the money line.

Dostal only lasted half of a period in Game Five, being pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%), in an eventual 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, who narrowed their series deficit to 3-2. The 25-year-old Czech goalie has been far from spectacular in his introduction to playoff hockey, posting a 4.32 GAA and .864 SV% through five appearances (3-2). Still, Dostal and the Ducks can close out the series on Thursday, entering Game Six as +114 home underdogs.

Through four games in this series, Dostal has not needed to be spectacular, posting a less-than-stellar 3.75 GAA and .878 SV%. Still, timely offence has helped the Ducks jump out to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers. The 25-year-old Czech goalie returns to the crease on Tuesday in Game Five, looking to close out the series, with the Ducks entering action as +140 road underdogs.

Dostal has not needed to be spectacular through three games, but his team’s explosive offence, along with Edmonton’s suspect defensive play, has been enough to earn Anaheim a 2-1 series lead. The 25-year-old Dostal has a 4.05 GAA and .874 SV% through three games and will likely need to elevate his play to steal a game at some point in the series. The Ducks enter Game Four as +115 home underdogs.

After securing his first career playoff victory on Wednesday, Dostal will be back between the pipes for the Ducks in Game 3. Dostal was busy in Anaheim's 6-4 win in Game 2, turning away 33 of the 37 shots he faced. He and the Ducks will aim to take a 2-1 series lead on Friday as they enter action as slight underdogs at +120 on the money line.

In his postseason debut in Game One, Dostal was serviceable, saving 30 of 34 shots (.882 SV%), but allowed the game-deciding goal in the final minutes of a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Dating back to the regular season, the 25-year-old Dostal has allowed four or more goals in six of his last seven games (1-5-1). The Ducks will turn to Dostal to tend the twine again in Game Two, entering the contest as +164 road underdogs as they attempt to level the series at 1-1.

With their playoff seeding still to be decided, the Ducks will roll with Dostal between the pipes for Tuesday's game in Minnesota. Dostal did not enjoy his best performance in his last start, when he allowed four goals on just 26 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks on Sunday. Anaheim's workhorse netminder has appeared in 55 games this season, posting a 30-19-4 record and an .889 SV%. Dostal and the Ducks enter action on Tuesday at -135 on the money line.

The Ducks will turn to Dostal between the pipes for the 53rd time this season when they welcome the Sharks to town on Thursday. Anaheim's workhorse netminder suffered a fourth-consecutive loss in his last outing, when he allowed five goals on just 25 shots in a 5-0 loss to the Predators on Tuesday. Dostal's record now sits at 29-19-3 on the season to go along with his .889 SV% and 3.13 GAA. Fortunately, Dostal is a decent bet to get back in the win column tonight as the Ducks enter action at -165 on the money line.

The Ducks have been abysmal defensively in recent games, allowing four or more goals in each of their last five games (0-4-1), with the brunt of the hardship falling on their goalies. The 25-year-old Dostal allowed six goals on 29 shots (.793 SV%) in his most recent outing, a miserable 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Dostal has salvaged a 5-4-1 record in his last 10 games despite posting an ugly 3.40 GAA and .874 SV%. The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as -139 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that had a 3-2 shootout loss last night to the Los Angele Kings as they continue their late-season battle for a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Dostal struggled in his previous outing, allowing four goals on 21 shots (.810 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks, but he will attempt to rebound on Friday against the St. Louis Blues. The 25-year-old Czech goalie has allowed three or more goals in six of his last seven games (3-3-1), posting a 3.17 GAA and .889 SV%. The Ducks enter Friday's contest as -135 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team that is 0-1-1 in their last two games.

Dostal has played well lately, but is coming off a 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers despite saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%). The 25-year-old Czech goalie will look to begin April the way he ended March, with a solid 2.60 GAA and .914 SV% in his last five games (3-1-1). The Ducks enter Wednesday's contest as slight -107 road favourites against a San Jose Sharks team that has gone 2-0-1 in its last three games, keeping itself within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Dostal was excellent in his previous outing, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Utah Mammoth, continuing his winning ways. That said, defensive coverage has been an issue for the Ducks all season, which directly correlates to Dostal's less-than-stellar 3.08 GAA and .884 SV% in March, despite boasting a solid 5-2-1 record. The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as -178 road favourites against the last-place Vancouver Canucks, who have scored two or fewer goals in five of their last seven games (2-4-1).
