Dostal will start in Vancouver on Tuesday.

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).

The 25-year-old Czech goalie has had some difficulties since returning from the Olympic break, allowing three or more goals in seven of nine games, but still boasts an impressive 6-2-1 record despite a less-than-stellar 3.59 GAA and .866 SV%. The Ducks enter Friday's contest as +118 road underdogs against a Mammoth team that played last night in an impressive 4-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

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.

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 Dostal was on a tremendous run heading into the Olympic break, posting a dazzling 1.96 GAA and .930 SV% in his last nine games (8-1-0), and will hope to carry that momentum to help his team battle for a playoff spot.
